Air Force Rydberg atomic sensor quantum measurement standard for electromagnetic test and evaluation (SBIR)
USAF AFMC and Department of the Air Force efforts to develop and transition Rydberg atomic sensor-based Quantum Sensing Analyzers as universal, SI-traceable electromagnetic measurement standards for DoD radar, electronic warfare, communications, and antenna testing (including at the Benefield Anechoic Facility), solicited via the DoW SBIR 2027 BAA, including funding, requirements, transition, and congressional oversight of quantum sensing for test and evaluation.
