Polaris Alpha – EOIR Technologies announced Jan. 18 it has won a $48 million IDIQ contract to provide research, development and technical services to the Naval Research Laboratory Electronics Science and Technology Division.
“EOIR is well poised to support NRL in its mission to retain battlefield spectrum dominance through new sensing and imaging techniques,” EOIR Vice President of Electromagnetic Warfare Mark Coleman said. “We look forward to supporting research and development efforts for next generation systems.”
Research to be conducted under this contract are categorized into seven broad research fields. EOIR will compete at the DO/TO level for Research Field 1: Optoelectronics. Activities include creating semiconductor materials that display characteristics such as wavelength sensitivity, electrical conversion efficiency, and switching speed superior to current state of the art and developing low-dimensional structures and materials that allow control of the electronic and opto-electronic properties at the quantum mechanical level.
NRL-ESTD develops new electronic materials, devices, components and subsystems for next generation systems in support of customers throughout NRL, the Defense Department and other U.S. government organizations, all with the focus on fundamental science as well as the development of technologies that can positively impact the warfighter through improved electronic systems that are used in systems including radar, communications, power conversion/control and electromagnetic warfare.
