About this award
The U.S. Navy's Naval Strategic Systems Programs awarded a $5.9 million Other Transaction Order to National Security Technology Accelerator Inc. (NSTA) on February 13, 2020, for Phase 2 Enhanced development of the Prototype Autonomous Fiber Optic Sensor Network (A-FOSN). A-FOSN is a passive opto-acoustic fiber optics sensor system designed to measure micro-strain induced by sound waves on continuous-wave laser light propagated through buried fiber optic cable arrays, with applications in undersea surveillance and strategic systems monitoring. The contract, which extends through February 28, 2026, will be performed in Polson, Montana. As a nonprofit organization based in Crane, Indiana, NSTA functions as a prime contractor and consortium manager that integrates major defense contractors, commercial firms, universities, and research organizations to rapidly prototype advanced defense technologies. This award carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting NSTA's role as a sophisticated prime contractor on complex defense innovation initiatives.
This contract represents part of NSTA's broader portfolio of major federal awards supporting critical national security technology domains. Naval Strategic Systems Programs has been a significant funding partner, including a prior $48.7 million RF System-on-Chip prototype award, demonstrating confidence in NSTA's capabilities for advanced sensor and strategic systems development. The Other Transaction Agreement structure provides enhanced procurement flexibility and accelerated development timelines suited to rapid prototyping of cutting-edge undersea sensing capabilities essential to naval strategic deterrence operations.
