About this opportunity
Office of the Secretary of Defense SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 5) — Accepting submissions 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-23. Objective: A benchtop instrument that measures boresight error and boresight error slope as a function of window temperature, temperature gradient, and angle of incidence Description: The infrared (IR) tracking system of an interceptor vehicle works by determining the position of an object via the line of sight (LOS) between the vehicle and the object of interest and then feeding that information into the guidance system. In all cases there is a protective window or dome in front of the IR tracking system. If a temperature gradient is formed between the front side and the back side of this protective window, such as might occur in superso...
