About this opportunity
Air Force STTR topic — under DoW STTR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.TZ, Release 5) — Accepting submissions 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-23. Objective: To develop a real-time computational pipeline that meets the demanding latency and throughput requirements for real-time enhanced accurate 3D imaging for directed energy applications.Motivation: The growing threat of drone-based attacks has underscored the critical need for advanced counter-drone technology in the DoD. One area of interest is the potential for 3D imaging modalities to outperform 2D modalities in these circumstances. 2D imaging modalities cannot explicitly separate an object from clutter, for example, without additional image processing/hardware. Moreover, the use of coherent illuminators provides 2D imagery with non-uniform illuminatio...
