About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks proposals to develop focal plane arrays capable of extreme curvature for improved infrared imaging systems. Under the FOcal arrays for Curved Infrared Imagers program, proposals are solicited to curve existing large format and small prototype mid- and longwave infrared detectors to spherical radii as tight as 12.5mm without changing fabrication processes. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical approach, risks and mitigation strategies, and performance goals. Abstracts are due September 3, 2019 and full proposals are due October 18, 2019 under solicitation HR001119S0078.
The opportunity has no set-aside designations. It aims to fund multiple awards as contracts or other transactions starting in April 2020. Proposals should curve detectors ranging from 2,000x2,000 pixel arrays with 35mm diagonals to greater than 2,000x2,000 pixel arrays exceeding 55mm diagonals to radii between 12.5mm and 70mm. Budgets and award values were not specified, but the program seeks to advance curved infrared imaging technologies for defense applications.
Notice text
DARPA MTO is soliciting research and development proposals for the FOcal arrays for Curved Infrared Imagers (FOCII) program to 1) curve existing state of the art large area (= 55mm diagonal), high resolution, state of the art cryogenically cooled mid- and/or longwave infrared focal plane arrays to a spherical radius of curvature of 70mm, and 2) curve smaller arrays (35mm diagonal) to an extreme 12.5mm spherical radius of curvature.
