KENT OPTRONICS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: SBIR PHASE II TOPIC # AF233-0037 ATLMS- LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, PROPOSAL #F2-19332 ATMOS
KENT OPTRONICS 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 $1,799,951, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Sensors & Sensor Fusion, Directed Energy. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Kent Optronics Inc. received nearly $1.8 million from the Air Force to build a laser-based system that measures how well laser light travels through the atmosphere from the ground. The tool helps understand real-world conditions that affect laser performance in military settings.
