The federal contract IDV award FA865016D5408 was granted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to UES Inc., a science and technology company that specializes in areas such as manufacturing, sensor materials, directed energy defense, and human performance augmentation. This $42 million indefinite delivery contract supports AFRL's Nanoelectronic Materials Optimization (NEMO) program, which focuses on research and development of next-generation photonic, optoelectronic, and quantum materials and processes for advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies.
Under this IDV, AFRL has issued several delivery orders to UES Inc. totaling over $29 million. The tasks include developing integrated photonics and optoelectronics, advancing materials and processes for RF electronic devices, and studying the effects of object motion on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image quality. UES Inc. frequently partners with subcontractors, including universities, small businesses, and major defense contractors, to execute the specialized research and development efforts required under these task orders. The work is primarily performed in Beavercreek, Ohio and supports AFRL's broader initiatives in critical technology areas for defense and aerospace applications.
