The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction Agreement to Vector Atomic Inc., a small business, valued at $3.2 million with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027, on September 29, 2025, to develop a Gravimeter Using Rubidium Atoms with Vibration-Immunity for Maritime and Airborne Platforms (GRAVMAP). The agreement sits outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation as an OTA.
Work is performed in Pleasanton, California. The effort contributes to Vector Atomic's broader capability portfolio in miniaturized quantum sensing and precision timing systems, where the company specializes in atomic clocks, inertial measurement units, gravity gradiometers, and frequency combs serving defense and national security missions. This GRAVMAP award represents one of nine DARPA-funded efforts in Vector Atomic's recent contract portfolio, which totals $31.9 million in combined potential value across DARPA vehicles and reflects the company's concentration in research and development contracts across the Department of Defense ecosystem. The source does not identify subcontractors or team members for this specific agreement.
