research-and-development-RDThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will hold a Proposers Day on Feb. 1 to inform potential contractors on the Atomic Clock with Enhanced Stability program.

DARPA said in a notice posted Dec. 23 ACES is a potential $50 million program that seeks to develop battery-powered atomic clocks that work to provide warfighters with synchronization and precision timing capabilities during navigation, communications, electronic warfare and reconnaissance missions in the event of a GPS shutdown.

“All of our modern communications, navigation and electronic warfare systems, as well as our intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, depend on accurate time-keeping,” said Robert Lutwak, ACES program manager at DARPA.

The first phase of the program will focus on the development of components of the atomic clock, while the two succeeding phases will deal with the integration of the parts to form a palm-sized clock that can be used with unmanned aircraft systems.

The Proposers Day will feature presentations by potential contractors and government staff and will be held in Arlington, Virginia.

Registration for the event is open until Jan. 25, according to a special notice posted on FedBizOpps.
