Chip Design Systems Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: MDA21-018
Chip Design Systems Inc. — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR 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 $1,510,000, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.

Description
Single-color MWIR LED arrays have made steady progress in demonstrating good performance, operability, efficiency, and reliability. On the other hand, dual-color MWIR LED arrays are highly desirable for testing dual color sensors. Compared to the optical combining approach, native dual-color LED arrays offer many benefits, including reduced system size and simpler optical system design. The proposed effort aims to develop a 2-color IRLED projector with higher resolution and higher frame rate than previously achieved. The proposed effort will also develop a high-speed interface between GPU and PCIe to facilitate large data transfer bandwidth requirements for anticipated hypersonics test scenarios.
