RESONON, INC. — Department of Energy SBIR Phase II: 20a
RESONON, INC. — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Energy.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Energy 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.
- Obligated amount $1,198,387 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.

Description
Large-area, high-resolution hyperspectral imaging is needed to accurately understand the carbon-cycle between the atmosphere and terrestrial systems. To do this cost-effectively, small UAVs will be needed, for which there are currently no hyperspectral imagers that meet both the performance requirement of DOE and the size/weight requirements for deployment on small UAVs. How the Problem is Being Addressed: A novel imaging spectrometer design that greatly simplifies the fore-optics of push-broom imaging spectrometers will be designed. This approach will provide excellent imaging and large signal-to-noise ratios across the full 350-2500 nm spectral range specified by this topic. Commercial Applications: Commercial applications include pipeline monitoring, invasive weed mapping, and crop-health monitoring.
