The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded an Other Transaction Agreement valued at $4.73M to Apic Corporation (doing business as Advanced Photonics Integrated Circuits) on August 25, 2025, for the Heterogeneously Integrated Photonic and Electronic (HIP-E) Systems program. The contract, which extends through September 24, 2026, requires the development of a prototype system integrating one or more Trusted Core (T-Core) processors and memory on a printed circuit board utilizing high-performance embedded HIP-E technologies. Work will be performed in Culver City, California. No small business set-aside designation was applied to this award. The HIP-E Systems program represents a defense research initiative focused on advancing integrated photonic and electronic technologies for next-generation military applications. By combining trusted processing capabilities with high-performance embedded systems on a single platform, the prototype development supports the Air Force Research Laboratory's objectives in modernizing computing architectures. The use of an Other Transaction Agreement as the contract vehicle reflects the exploratory and innovative nature of the effort, allowing greater flexibility in prototype development and demonstration activities.
