About this award
This is a $1,989,747.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for research on near-infrared (near-IR) power beaming. The objective is to develop a "hand size optic" capable of transmitting over 100 watts of electrical power to multiple assets from a distance exceeding 1 kilometer, using small, low-power beacons on each asset to enable targeting. UCSB, a public research university, has extensive expertise in areas like photonics, materials science, and defense-related basic research. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded through full and open competition. As the prime contractor, UCSB may collaborate with other research institutions and companies on this project. The State of California Controller's Office, UCSB's parent organization, has previously participated in federal contracting and grant programs, demonstrating the breadth of its involvement in federally funded initiatives.
Description
We propose near IR power beaming with a capability in a "hand size optic" to send power in excess of 100 watts (electrical) to multiple assets at distances exceeding 1 KM. Using a small low power beacon on each asset we can target an unlimited number
