SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: SBIR PHASE II AF244-D015 TOMOGRAPHIC HIGH-ENERGY LASER MEASUREMENT APPARATUS (THELMA) FOR
SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, 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.
- Obligated amount $1,399,797 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.
- Tagged technology areas: Directed Energy, Sensors & Sensor Fusion. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
This Phase II award provides nearly $1.4 million to develop THELMA, a tomographic system that measures high-energy laser beams without physical contact. The tool will help the Air Force test and refine powerful laser weapons more safely and accurately.
