DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PARTNERS WITH UA FOR
CUTTING-EDGE WORK

Cameras that can see through objects or around corners? Sounds like science fiction, but it may soon be a reality given the innovation in advanced optics technologies happening at UA.

The UA’s College of Optical Sciences was awarded two major research contracts, each representing comprehensive, multiyear engagements with the U.S. Department of Defense. The two programs — funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory — involve cutting-edge innovation with applied outcomes through industrial partnering to push the boundary of optics and photonics capabilities.
