About the company
Advanced Scientific Concepts, LLC, a Goleta, California-based small business manufacturer, designs and builds 3D flash LIDAR sensors and advanced optical imaging systems for federal defense and space agencies, competing as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) predominantly through the Small Business Innovation Research program under total small business set-asides. The company specializes in high-resolution imaging and ranging sensors utilizing InGaAs Avalanche Photodiodes operating across infrared and near-infrared wavelengths, with applications spanning digital elevation mapping, autonomous navigation, hazard detection, object tracking, sensor fusion, and augmented reality for military and civilian space missions.
Advanced Scientific Concepts' customer concentration centers on naval and aerospace programs. The top five funding agencies account for 94% of combined potential value across recent awards, dominated by the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs (3 awards, $19 million combined potential value), followed by the Office of Naval Research (6 awards, $4.4 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (3 awards, $3.5 million), the Air Force Research Laboratory (7 awards, $2.7 million), and NASA's Shared Services Center (17 awards, $2.5 million). The Navy-to-Air-Force-to-NASA split reflects Advanced Scientific Concepts' positioning in advanced sensor development for submarine-based infrared systems, aircraft and satellite platforms, and lunar and Mars rover autonomy. Award volume favors NASA's Shared Services Center by count (17 awards) but Naval Strategic Systems Programs dominates by dollar magnitude, anchoring roughly 56% of total potential value through SBIR Phase II awards for 3D flash LIDAR development and integration into space-based infrared surveillance and missile warning systems.
Recent representative work includes a $2.94 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (base period through April 2029) for sensor development supporting the Space Based Infrared System High Major Defense Acquisition Program, a $749,859 SBIR Phase II firm-fixed-price award from the Air Force Research Laboratory for 3D flash LIDAR research and development in digital elevation mapping and autonomous navigation, a $239,828 SBIR Phase I award from Naval Sea Systems Command for infrared sensor concept development under the SBIRS High program (August 2024 to August 2025), and a $224,989 SBIR Phase I award from NASA's Shared Services Center for flash LIDAR mobility products supporting safe autonomous and supervised lunar surface operations (September 2026, ultimate completion March 2027). The company also holds purchase orders and repair contracts from NASA for 3D flash LIDAR cameras and field-of-view kits, valued between $15,000 and $240,000 per order.
Activity has remained steady at three to four awards per year across 2022–2026, with three awards (combined potential value $16.5 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete. Advanced Scientific Concepts operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, retaining full operational control over sensor design, fabrication, and testing at its Goleta facility. The company's contract portfolio is concentrated in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, excluding Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), with secondary concentration in optical instrument manufacturing and photographic equipment manufacturing, and sits entirely within the SBIR ecosystem and sole-source procurement channels, indicating deep technical specialization and limited competition in advanced flash LIDAR sensor technology for federal defense and space applications.
