Thin Film Research for Optical Coatings

Added: Jan 24, 2013 2:49 pm This is a Fair Opportunity/Limited Sources Justification award notice associated with a follow-on task order to a competitive initial order that is pursuant to FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C). Contractor Name: General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT). Task Order Award Date: 16 November 2012. Task Order Dollar Amount: $1,250,000.00.

The contract action is a logical direct follow-on to FA8650-09-D-5430 Task Order 0004 that has already been issued under the basic contract. This research and development effort is under the auspices of the Hardened Materials Research & Survivability Studies (HMRSS) program, which involves research on materials technologies, interactions, or applications, and advances the level of understanding of optical components and materials for use in optical band selectivity. The program is also furthering the investigation of materials and technologies that provide broadband or narrowband blocking of electromagnetic radiation (EM) across visible, near infrared and infrared spectral regions, and gaining a better understanding of the structure and property relationships of these novel material systems.
