Summary

The Department of the Navy is seeking proposals to develop and demonstrate Co‑Packaged Optics (CPO) architectures for advanced cryocooled electro‑optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems that reduce wirebonds, increase bandwidth density, and survive rugged maritime environments. The effort aims to enable high‑bandwidth, low‑power readout from cold sensors for tactical edge computing on Navy ISR and IRST platforms.
