High Performance Electro-optic Modulator Designed for Military Aircraft

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking innovative solutions for the development of a high-performance electro-optic modulator designed for military aircraft applications. The primary objective is to create a modulator that maintains optimal performance under the demanding environmental conditions encountered when mounted directly to an aircraft antenna, with a focus on addressing challenges related to temperature control and electromagnetic vulnerability. This initiative is critical for enhancing airborne receiver capabilities, offering significant advantages over traditional radio frequency sensors, including improved sensitivity and reduced cable weight. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on April 23, 2025, with a closing date of May 21, 2025, and can find more details at the provided source link: https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/.
