AI Contract Overview
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a notice of intent to award a sole source follow-on contract to Analog Photonics LLC for the Optical Phased Arrays at Scale (OPAS) effort under the Modular Optical Aperture Building Blocks (MOABB) project. Authorized under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), the award is justified by the contractor's unique institutional knowledge and successful performance during Phase II of BAA-16-13. The project is estimated to span 36 months and focuses on transitioning photonic component designs, fabrication processes, and integrated circuits to a high-volume foundry environment to achieve wide-area uniformity and scalability beyond the previous 1cm aperture size. The primary objective of the work is to enable large-scale optical phased arrays for advanced sensing, with key deliverables including scaled photonic integrated circuits and the demonstration of single-chip LiDAR systems. Performance will be measured by foundry process control and the ability to maintain consistency while scaling aperture size. While the notice provided a 15-day window for interested parties to submit white papers and past performance data via email to Michael Blackstone and Dr. Gordon Keeler, the procurement is non-competitive. Specific pricing, detailed inspection criteria, and formal contract clauses were not provided in the notice.
