Short-range Wide-field-of-view Extremely-agile Electronically-steered Photonic EmitteR (SWEEPER): Amendment 04: The purpose of this amendment is to revise the due dates. Changes are highlighted in yellow in the attached conformed BAA document. Original Synopsis Below.DARPA is soliciting innovative research and development (R&D) proposals in the area of short-range wide-field-of-view extremely-agile electronically-steered photonic emitters (SWEEPER). The overall goal is to create a paradigm shift in active optical beam steering and sensing by developing chip-scale integrated photonic coherent beam-forming technologies that overcome the limits of opto- mechanical and electro optical systems while being constrained to small size, weight, and power (SWaP). DARPA envisions that a successful SWEEPER program will establish photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology that will provide video frame rate beam steering speeds, and emit multiple beams with a total output power of 10 W. All administrative correspondence and questions on this solicitation, including requests for information on how to submit a proposal abstract or full proposal to this BAA, should be directed to one of the administrative addresses below; e-mail is preferred ([email protected]).
