The Department of Defense, specifically the Army, is seeking proposals for the development of a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) Dual Band Focal Plane Array (FPA) in High Definition format, focusing on the innovative use of Antimonide-based strained layer superlattices (SLS) technology. The objective is to create dual-band Mid-wave Infrared/Long-Wave Infrared (MWIR/LWIR) FPAs that meet Third Generation FLIR performance standards, enhancing night vision capabilities across various Army and DOD applications, including individual soldier systems and unmanned vehicles. This initiative is crucial for maintaining operational superiority in thermal infrared imaging, particularly in challenging environmental conditions. Interested parties must submit Direct to Phase II proposals by March 20, 2024, with further details available on the DOD SBIR website.
