About the company
Anello Photonics Inc., a small-business manufacturer of silicon photonic optical gyroscopes and precision navigation sensor technologies, operates as a 100% prime contractor to the Department of Defense and allied agencies, competing under total small business set-asides in research and development and full-and-open procurement for specialized equipment sales. The Santa Clara, California-based for-profit company has secured $25.6 million in combined federal potential value across twelve awards since 2021, with recent activity accelerating from single awards in 2022–2023 to five awards in 2024.
Anello's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense: the Office of the Secretary of Defense anchors 83% of combined potential value ($21.3 million across two awards), while the Department of the Army and Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command split the remaining 17%. The Office of the Secretary of Defense leads the portfolio through a $20 million Other Transaction Agreement for UAS navigation equipment (ceiling, ultimate completion August 15, 2027) awarded on March 16, 2026, and an earlier $1.27 million Other Transaction IDV for C5ISR/Electronic Warfare Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) prototype development (awarded November 7, 2022). The Army follows with $2 million across a $1.8 million Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract on optical gyroscope development (ultimate completion March 16, 2026) and a $250 thousand SBIR Phase I award. The Naval Air Warfare Center holds three awards totaling $1.7 million, including a $1.29 million definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee R&D contract (ultimate completion February 1, 2029) and two SBIR Phase I feasibility studies. The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command procured a $30 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order for a SIPHOG-X3 optical gyroscope 3-axis inertial measurement unit on a sole-source basis in July 2025.
Anello's prime portfolio spans SBIR Phase I and Phase II contracts across Naval Air Warfare Center, Air Force Research Laboratory, U.S. Special Operations Command, and Army Materiel Command RDECOM, with individual research awards ranging from $166 thousand to $1.8 million, alongside targeted equipment procurements and prototype development agreements. The company holds no subcontract relationships in the source data — all twelve awards are primes. Technology work centers on miniaturized photonic gyroscopes for space vehicle pointing, precision navigation and guidance systems, and integrated inertial measurement units for naval information warfare and electronic warfare applications. One award (the $20 million OTA) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the primary recompete exposure in the immediate pipeline.
