The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Strategic Sensors Branch (AFLCMC/ESGS) is conducting market research to identify qualified systems integrators capable of designing, developing, producing, installing, operating, and sustaining the full lifecycle of the Tactical Multi-Mission Over-the-Horizon Radar (TACMOR) system. TACMOR is a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping initiative intended to field an operational, remotely operated Over-the-Horizon Radar (OTHR) capability within the Indo-Pacific region. The system will deliver wide-area air domain awareness and support supplementary operational missions across the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR). The anticipated contract award is slated for FY2027, with an estimated period of performance extending through FY2029. The TACMOR baseline system architecture requires a bistatic operational profile featuring geographically separated transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) installations deployed in austere operational environments within the designated operational area. The system will operate as a one-dimensional, remotely operated OTHR integrating permanent antenna field installations with modular, containerized mission support facilities. Comprehensive integrator solutions must address primary and backup self-sustained onsite power generation and fuel storage, physical and electronic security, remote health and status monitoring, secure backhaul communications, environmental resilience against tropical and saltwater conditions, and integration with a centralized Radar Operations Control Center (ROCC). The Government will furnish land, Military Construction (MILCON), and the prepared receive and transmit sites. The Government may also provide black transport communications via fiber optic networks with satellite communications (SATCOM) backup; complete cryptographic and backhaul transport parameters are detailed in the CUI technical data package. Respondents must demonstrate mature technical approaches, industrial base capacity, software engineering maturity, and specialized workforce availability to achieve full integration and system sell-off by 30 September 2029. | Market Research | 334511 | No Set-Aside | 10/13/2026 | 10/23/2026 | 0, AP | |

When water turns murky or dense with mud, sediment or chemistry, optical cameras stop being useful, and operators are left guessing about what lies on the other side of the fluid. The Acoustic Camera from Los Alamos National Laboratory replaces that guesswork with sharp 3D imagery generated from sound, achieving sub-millimeter depth resolution in near real time. Instead of inferring the size and orientation of a submerged object from an impression block or a low-frequency sonar return, an operator receives an actual shape, with depth cues and material hints, on the first pass. The result is faster decisions in environments that have historically been opaque, whether the goal is recovering a lost tool from a wellbore, checking the integrity of a net pen in a turbid fjord, or inspecting submerged infrastructure where flushing or cleaning the surrounding fluid is not an option. How it Works: The system operates by transmitting high-frequency ultrasonic pulses—typically in the hundreds of kilohertz range (approximately 100–800 kHz)—into the wellbore toward an object of interest. These sound waves reflect off the object and are captured by a two-dimensional acoustic receiver array. By measuring the time-of-flight and spatial distribution of the returned echoes, onboard digital signal processing reconstructs a detailed 3D image of the object in near real time. Because ultrasound propagates through drilling mud and other optically opaque fluids, the system can generate clear 3D images without requiring fluid replacement or well cleanout. Technical Description: Acoustic Camera uses a broadband piezoelectric transducer to insonify the object with frequencies between roughly 100 kHz and 800 kHz. Because attenuation in fluids scales with the square of frequency, this band is chosen as the practical compromise between mud penetration (favoring lower frequencies) and image resolution (favoring higher frequencies). Reflected pulses pass through a compound high-density polyethylene (HDPE) acoustic lens consisting of a fixed plano-concave primary element and a motor-positioned secondary element, allowing focus adjustment without changing the receiver position, and yielding an appropriate magnification factor. The receive array is a 2D segmented piezoelectric detector submerged in sound-communicating fluid whose low sound speed provides a roughly three-fold reduction in wavelength versus water and enables a compact camera housing. Image reconstruction can use either tone-burst excitation with first-arrival extraction or, for higher resolution, frequency-chirp excitation followed by cross-correlation of the transmit and receive signals — yielding depth resolution below 1 mm at working distances of up to approximately 2 feet in drilling mud. The film allows the source and detector to share a single optical axis, eliminating the multiple reflections and aberrations introduced by semi-transparent acoustic mirrors used in earlier architectures. Key Advantages: Imaging through opaque fluids: Enables 3D visualization in drilling mud and other optically opaque, acoustically attenuating fluids where optical systems fail Reduced cost and downtime: Eliminates the need for well cleanout and accelerates diagnostic decision-making during fishing operations Higher-quality diagnostics: Provides accurate 3D information on object shape and orientation, surpassing mechanical impression methods Lower operational risk: Improves fishing-tool selection and reduces the likelihood of failed recovery attempts or well loss Extensible platform: Applicable to other downhole and industrial environments involving optically opaque fluids, supporting future product expansion Market Applications: Oil & Gas Mining and Geotechnical Operations Enhanced Geothermal Systems Industrial Inspection and Maintenance Energy and Utilities Infrastructure Government and Defense Development Status: TRL 4 US Patent No. 10,054,676-B2 LA-UR-26-24351 LANL Tech Partnerships: Unlock the Innovative Potential Los Alamos National Laboratory offers a wide range of cutting-edge technologies and capabilities that may provide your company with a competitive edge in the market and unlock the innovative potential that can enhance, refine, and revolutionize your products.

Engineers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a “license plate” for satellites to help solve the growing problem of space traffic management. The Extremely Low-Resource Optical Identifier (ELROI) is a simple, easy-to-fly, solar-powered beacon that can be attached to a satellite for tracking. Each ELROI unit transmits a custom identification number that can be read from the ground using signal processing techniques also developed at Los Alamos. The Challenge: Identifying space objects after launch remains a persistent challenge. When dozens of satellites are deployed simultaneously, determining which object is which using traditional radar or optical tracking methods is slow, error-prone, or sometimes impossible. This lack of real-time, reliable identification hinders satellite commissioning, increases operational risk, and undermines space traffic management efforts. Unidentified satellites are particularly problematic after their radio systems are disabled or fail. Without continuous, verifiable identification, defunct satellites add uncertainty to orbital catalogs and increase the risk of collision. Problems Solved: ELROI solves the space object identification problem by providing an autonomous, low-cost, optical beacon that broadcasts a unique ID from orbit. ELROI: enables definitive post-launch identification of satellites faster than conventional means; operates without RF emissions, making it ideal for use even after satellite deactivation; functions autonomously, activating and broadcasting without requiring power or communication from the host spacecraft; and continues operation even after satellite passivation, offering a persistent identity signal over the object’s orbital lifetime. In 2024–25, ELROI was demonstrated successfully on LaCE-1 and R5-S4 satellites, providing the first definitive identification for each satellite in orbit ahead of operator or catalog resolution. Key Advantages Ultra-Low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost): Final designs aim for just a few grams and a few cubic centimeters, requiring minimal power. No RF Interference: Uses optical rather than radio frequency, sidestepping spectrum crowding and regulatory issues. Autonomous and Passive: No spacecraft support required; beacon runs independently, even on dead satellites. Fast and Robust Identification: High-confidence decoding of unique identifiers using ground-based photon counting techniques, even with low signal strength. Scalable and Flexible: Can be added to any space object, including CubeSats and deployable debris, without complex integration. Resilient Design: Uses robust encoding schemes (e.g., BCH error-correcting codes) to ensure ID recovery under high noise and low signal conditions. Next Steps For ELROI to become a standard part of space operations, three parallel tracks must advance: Beacon Manufacturing: Move from prototypes to production-scale manufacturing of standardized, miniaturized ELROI units. Ground Network Expansion: Establish a distributed network of ground stations using cost-effective photon-counting or hybrid imaging systems. Operator Adoption: Encourage satellite operators to integrate ELROI through demonstrated benefits, policy incentives, and regulatory encouragement. Widespread use will grow as ELROI proves its value, stays low-cost, and gains support for improving space safety. Market Applications: Space Traffic Management: A standard beacon on all space objects reduces uncertainty, supports catalog maintenance, and improves deconfliction. Regulatory Compliance: Enables better enforcement of norms and international transparency for satellite tracking and ownership. Mission Assurance: Helps satellite operators confirm identity quickly after deployment, expediting commissioning and reducing risk. End-of-Life Management: Provides lasting identity for passivated or tumbling satellites, supporting sustainable space practices. Commercial Launch Services: Can be included as standard hardware on launch platforms to simplify post-launch operations for clients.
