DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY

Duke University, Durham, N.C., is being awarded a $15,553,239 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract modification (HR0011-10-C-0073).

On the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Maximally Scalable Optical Sensor Array Imaging with Computation Program, Duke University seeks to overcome the limits of conventional imaging system designs and demonstrate the feasibility of near-linear growth of optical information throughput with increasing imaging system scale. The efficacy of the technology will be demonstrated by developing an unprecedented 10 to 50 giga pixel with 114-degree field of view. P00006 exercises phase two, option one. Work will be performed in Durham, N.C. (25.14 percent); Champaign, Ill. (12.57 percent); Cambridge, Mass. (2.12 percent); McKinney, Texas (4.53 percent); Rochester, N.Y.
