About this opportunity
Air Force SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2027 BAA (Solicitation 27.BZ, Release 1) — Accepting submissions 2026-10-28 to 2026-11-25. Objective: High-energy lasers integrated onto airborne platforms hold immense potential for a variety of applications, relevant to DAF missions. However, the demanding operational environments encountered by airborne systems, characterized by factors like vibration, shock, temperature fluctuations, and pressure variations, pose significant challenges to the performance and reliability of traditional optical systems. To achieve demanding pointing and line of sight stabilization requirements necessary for the laser to have the desired effect on target, a precision optical beam control system is required to sense and correct platform induced disturbances, acquire an...
