This funding opportunity supports for-profit firms to design and deliver battery-powered chip-scale atomic clocks that match or exceed current commercial performance at a target cost below $300 per unit. The project aims to improve manufacturability and performance leveraging advances in MEMS, photonics, and atomic physics to provide precise timing solutions for military applications in GPS-denied environments.
Eligibility is limited to for-profit firms and consortia led by for-profit firms as specified under 32 CFR 37.210. Additional eligibility details are referenced but not fully specified in the notice.
