- PROPOSERS’ DAY CONFERENCE DARPA will host a Proposers’ Day Workshop in anticipation of a Broad Agency Announcement, DARPA-BAA-10-31, Manufacturable Gradient Index Optics (M-GRIN) program on February 5, 2010 at Booz Allen Hamilton, Suite 600, 3811 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22201 from 8:00 to 3:00. The purpose of this conference is to provide information on the M-GRIN program, promote additional discussion on this topic, address questions from potential proposers, and provide a forum for potential proposers to present their capabilities for teaming opportunities. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE AND DESCRIPTION: The objective of the M-GRIN program is to develop and demonstrate gradient index (GRIN) lenses for imaging and light collection, advancing the lens development from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 to a Manufacturability Readiness Level (MRL) 8. DARPA anticipates the release of DARPA-BAA-10-31 prior to the industry day. BAAs issued by DARPA can be found on the FedBizOpps website, http://www.fedbizopps.gov/. REGISTRATION INFORMATION: Participants must register NLT February 1, 2010 at the following website: http://safe.sysplan.com/sto/mgrin. Directions to the facility and other materials are also available on the website. There is no registration fee for attending this conference.
