About this opportunity
Office of the Secretary of Defense SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 4) — Accepting submissions 2026-07-22 to 2026-08-19. Objective: Design, fabricate and characterize tunable nonlocal metasurfaces that perform light-based pre-processing and computing functions on the edge, including Fourier operations, de-noising and object recognition, directly in the optical path of mid-wave infrared thermal-imaging systems under partially coherent illumination. Description: Current thermal-imaging systems rely heavily on digital post-processing to perform feature extraction and image processing, increasing latency, power consumption and system complexity. Recent advances in nonlocal metasurfaces have demonstrated analog optical operations including spatial differentiatio...
