Navy SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 2) — Accepting submissions 2026-05-27 to 2026-06-24. Objective: Develop a means to detect, determine the range of, and track low-observable surface targets utilizing active electro-optical sensors. Description: The Navy continues to field multiple systems incorporating imaging sensors (cameras). Taken collectively, the Navy has cameras covering both wide and narrow fields of view, with varying resolution (pixel count), and operating across essentially the entire span of visible to infrared (IR) wavelength bands. For surface ships, camera sensors are used for general situational awareness, to aid in navigation for target detection and tracking, and for targeting. Camera sensors, even those operating in the IR, provide in...
