OPTO-KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS INC — Department of Defense STTR Phase I: TOPIC NO. AF24D-T001, STTR PHASE I PROPOSAL F24D-T001-0015 - ROBUST AND QUANTITATIVE SENSO

OPTO-KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS INC — STTR Phase I award from Department of Defense.

Phase I STTR feasibility signal

  • Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
  • Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
  • Obligated amount $199,995. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Sensors & Sensor Fusion, Hypersonics. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.

Informational capture context from public federal data — not legal or bid advice.

Summary

Opto-Knowledge Systems Inc received nearly $200,000 from the Department of Defense for a Phase I STTR project to develop a reliable sensor that accurately measures conditions inside rotating detonation engines. This technology targets advanced propulsion systems for military use.
