Description

Vector Atomic will design and build a Product-Ready Iodine Clock Enabled by Low-Environmental Sensitivity Subsystems (PRICELESS). The simplified optical clock architecture resolves practical issues associated with dynamic operation, lifetime, autonomy, and cost. Such a clock can support rapid GPS acquisition and enable new capabilities including secure communications, geolocation of adversary emitters, multi-static radar, and long-dwell time/coherent imaging.
