Farseer: Quantum Sensing for ISRThe Department of Defense, through the Defense Innovation Unit, is launching the Farseer program to accelerate the transition of quantum sensing and timing technologies into operational Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance capabilities. The program targets four key Lines of Effort: quantum magnetometers, gravimeters, portable atomic clocks, and critical component technologies that reduce Size, Weight, and Power while improving manufacturability. These advancements aim to overcome the fundamental sensitivity-SWaP trade-offs of classical systems, enabling warfighters to operate with greater precision, resilience, and situational awareness in contested, multi-domain environments. Quantum magnetometers must detect signals above 100 Hz with performance surpassing current benchmarks, gravimeters must function effectively in static, low-dynamics, and high-dynamics contexts meeting precise microgravity resolution metrics, and portable clocks must deliver ultra-stable timing outputs at 10 MHz, 100 MHz, and 1 PPS with compact form factors aligned to tactical platform constraints. Component technologies must support these systems through innovations in chip-scale lasers, photonic circuits, cryogenics, and vapor cells, while strengthening the domestic quantum supply chain. Vendors are invited to submit solution briefs tailored to one or more LoEs, with an emphasis on prototype readiness within three to nine months of award and a clear roadmap to achieve final performance goals within two to three years. Solutions must align with Sensor Open System Architecture principles, demonstrate dual-use commercial potential, and include evidence of prior testing or integration on defense or commercial platforms. Proposals must detail ruggedness levels, current and target Technology and Manufacturing Readiness Levels, proprietary software interfaces, and any foreign-sourced critical components or investor ties to adversarial nations. The program operates under the Other Transactions Authority, allowing for rapid award and follow-on production without competitive bidding. All submissions must be received by July 11, 2026, and are expected to feature unique innovations that outperform the state of the art, with modular, scalable designs capable of iterative insertion into evolving DoW systems.
