The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to rapidly advance integrated photonics technologies and the ecosystem required to viably manufacture them to a level of maturity that can be demonstrated and applied to address communication and operational issues in an RF-denied environment.
Phase IV will build on the successes of earlier phases and focus on:
- Advancing assured communications
- Advancing assured navigation
- advancing assured timing
- reducing Cist Size Weight and Power (C-SWaP) of all photonic integrated circuit (PIC) applications
If you feel your organization has the technical capabilities and would like to be considered for this project, please complete the form below and upload your organization’s technical capabilities statement.
Interested Submissions Due by 8/6/26.
We encourage participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), including Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs).
