Design of RoomTemperature THz and Infrared Sensing Devices Using Non-Toxic, Supply-Chain Secure Material Platform
AI Overview
This RFP seeks development of room-temperature infrared and terahertz sensing devices using non-toxic, supply-chain-secure materials to replace cryogenically-cooled systems. The technology targets fast, low-power detection for hypersonic threats and drone detection without the toxicity and cooling requirements of current military sensor platforms.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
Infrared sensing sits at an inflection point. The industry-standard HgCdTe (MCT) requires bulky cryogenic cooling and is built on toxic, supply-chain-fragile elements, while uncooled microbolometers, are limited to millisecond response times. This leaves unaddressed the regime of fast, uncooled, low-SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) detection from the long-wave infrared (LWIR) through the THz, which hypersonic threat warning, proliferated drone platforms, and contested-spectrum operations n...
