KENT OPTRONICS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: SBIR PHASE II PROPOSAL F2-19329 - SILAS- LASER ANALYSIS, TOPIC NO. AF241-0009 SPECTRORADIO
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 $1,799,958, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Directed Energy, Sensors & Sensor Fusion. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Kent Optronics Inc. won a $1.8M Air Force SBIR Phase II award to build SILAS, a spectroradiometric system that measures and analyzes laser output. The tool supports testing and evaluation of laser technologies for defense use.
