Description
The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) is conducting market research to identify capable sources, particularly small business concerns, that can provide commercially available, high-performance quantum scalar magnetometers. The requirement is for ultra-precise magnetic field measurement sensors. The offered product must meet minimum salient characteristics including: an optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) utilizing an atomic vapor cell (e.g., Rubidium or Potassium) in a scalar measurement mode, achieving sensitivity better than 1 pT/√Hz, supporting a bandwidth from DC up to at least 500 Hz, and utilizing an integrated, low-power laser excitation source (e.g., VCSEL technology). The sensor head must be highly compact (not exceeding approximately 20mm x 20mm x 40mm) and ultra-lightweight (weighing no more than 19 grams) for low-SWaP integration on UAV/UAS platforms. The system must feature a separated or modular Electronic Control Unit (ECU) capable of real-time digital signal processing and must be capable of synchronized operation within a multi-sensor array. Orientation (heading error) must not require precise angular alignment with the Earth's magnetic field, and the equipment must be a Commercially Available Off-The-Shelf (COTS) item.
