About this opportunity
Missile Defense Agency SBIR topic — Accepting submissions 2026-12-02 to 2027-01-06. Develop a cost-effective IR interceptor seeker through methods such as novel material development, advanced manufacturing and/or scalability, novel commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) integration, or other innovations that could reduce costs and maintain acceptable seeker performance. Both full seeker solutions and novel seeker components (focal plane array, readout integrated circuit, cooling system, telescope optics, etc.) are acceptable so long as cost savings are explicitly quantified in the proposal. A "full seeker" solution should include: Cover (if applicable), telescope assembly/ optical system (lenses, mirrors, filters, etc.), the IR sensor (filter, Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs) Readout Integrated Circuit...
