About this opportunity
Air Force STTR topic — Accepting submissions 2026-12-02 to 2027-01-06. Given its inherent broadband capabilities, RF photonics is a promising technology for both civilian and military applications. It is employed in several platforms, including autonomous vehicles, UAVs, and mobile devices, to sense and navigate complex environments and detect and track mobile targets, among many other use-case scenarios. Current studies are establishing and advancing RF photonic technology for several applications. However, these advances, especially in the radio frequencies or lower millimeter-wave regime, are still based on bulky antenna solutions, preventing the realization of compact systems that can be easily accommodated in small platforms. Proposals are sought to provide innovative antenna solutio...
