- Description
- BAA atch - CDRLs BAA-10-10-PKM Solicitation document The Manufacturing Technology Division (AFRL/RXM) is soliciting technical and cost proposals for the Photonics Manufacturing Program to address manufacturing challenges associated with producing militarized, high bandwidth photonics interconnect technology. This effort should help identify and leverage manufacturing improvement programs that enhance the affordability and capability of militarized photonics interconnect technology and thereby expedite technology transition to the Warfighter. Proposals should address how manufacturing improvements would be incorporated into current and future AF weapon system production programs. Proposed efforts should focus on increasing the producibility and affordability of systems with the following specific areas of interest: a. Performance: Air Force systems (ground, air and space) are processing greater and greater amounts of data and information requiring increased interconnect communications bandwidths at intra-module (chip-to-chip), inter-module (board-to-board) and system (system-to-system) levels. Photonics interconnect technology can meet these increased requirements but are in need of manufacturing process improvements to make the technology more producible and thereby affordable for Air Force applications. Proposed programs should address how to meet Air Force next generation and future generation interconnect communication needs thereby accelerating technology insertion. b. Scaleability: Demonstrate how the interconnect technology solution will meet chip, board and system interconnection requirements and also meet increasing bandwidth requirements of the future. Demonstrate how photonics interconnection technology solutions can accommodate migration from chip levels to system levels as well as accommodate not only present day bandwidth requirements but also future increased bandwidth requirements. c. Transition: Identify anticipated technology insertions into Air Force weapon systems for the next 5 years. True insertion dates versus just transition opportunities are being sought. Weapon system office endorsements of the technology are also highly desirable. Address technical questions to: Dr. Greg Cazzell, (937) 904-4599
