About this award
Compound Eye Inc., a small disadvantaged business specializing in advanced imaging and autonomous technology solutions, was awarded a $12.3M Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II delivery order by the Army's Program Executive Office for Ground Combat Systems on June 25, 2024. The contract, which operates under the SBIR Catalyst Enhancement program (Topic #A206-002), supports development of Visual Inertial Distributed Aperture System (VIDAS) Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology designed to enable GPS-denied mapping and positioning capabilities. The award carries a firm fixed price structure with an ultimate completion date of January 25, 2027, and will be performed in Redwood City, California. No set-aside designation was applied to this delivery order.
This contract represents a significant expansion of Compound Eye Inc.'s existing relationship with the Department of the Army under a broader $15M SBIR Phase II Catalyst program Indefinite Delivery Vehicle established in September 2023. The company's technical focus on passive 3D sensing, computer vision algorithms, and multi-spectral sensor development directly aligns with the Army's modernization priorities for autonomous systems and soldier capability enhancement. The VIDAS SLAM technology being developed through this effort addresses critical operational requirements for autonomous navigation and positioning in environments where GPS signals are unavailable or denied, supporting advanced military applications across ground combat systems.
Description
Small business innovation research phase II, compound eye catalyst enhancement topic supporting the visual inertial distributed aperture system (vidas) simultaneous localization and mapping (slam): undetectable, GPS-denied mapping and positioning.
