KENT OPTRONICS INC — Department of Defense STTR Phase II: SBIR/STTR PHASE II R&D - NEXT-GEN INFRARED SCENE PROJECTOR FOR HYPERSONIC HARDWARE-IN-THE-
KENT OPTRONICS INC — STTR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II STTR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $1,976,672, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Hypersonics, Sensors & Sensor Fusion, Modeling & Simulation. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Kent Optronics Inc won nearly $2 million from the Missile Defense Agency to build a next-generation infrared scene projector. The device will support lab testing of hypersonic systems using hardware-in-the-loop methods.
