Description

Amendment 05: The purpose of this amendment is to close the BAA effective 28 May 2010. Original Synopsis Below. DARPA is soliciting innovative research and development (R&D) proposals in the area of short-range wide-field-of-view extremely-agile electronically-steered photonic emitters (SWEEPER). The overall goal is to create a paradigm shift in active optical beam steering and sensing by developing chip-scale integrated photonic coherent beam-forming technologies that overcome the limits of opto- mechanical and electro optical systems while being constrained to small size, weight, and power (SWaP). DARPA envisions that a successful SWEEPER program will establish photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology that will provide video frame rate beam steering speeds, and emit multiple beams with a total output power of 10 W. All administrative correspondence and questions on this solicitation, including requests for information on how to submit a proposal abstract or full proposal to this BAA, should be directed to one of the administrative addresses below; e-mail is preferred (darpa-baa-09-66@darpa.mil). See attached Full DARPA-BAA-09-66 document.
