All-domain Radiant Optical Research and Applications (ARORA)

The Air Force Research Laboratory, Sensors Directorate, is soliciting white papers and proposals for the All-domain Radiant Optical Research and Applications (ARORA) program. The program aims to develop photonic technologies cooperatively between the Department of Defense, commercial, defense industrial base, and other organizations. The scope of work includes designing, fabricating, and testing prototype photonic technologies that demonstrate advanced capabilities. Key aspects of the program include: * Developing photonic technologies for various applications * Collaborating with different organizations to achieve research goals * Designing, fabricating, and testing prototype photonic technologies * Demonstrating advanced capabilities and providing technical offset for Department of Defense applications * Maintaining cost control and streamlining rapid execution of photonic research and modernization of existing systems
