PSI President and CEO, Bill Marinelli, published an Op-Ed in Defense News with recommendations for improving engagement between the DoD and Small Businesses.

Congress and the nation’s military leaders have perennially expressed frustration with the “valley of death,” the abyss where promising new technologies too often meet their demise before they can be transitioned into major defense programs.

PSI has been awarded a research program from the US Department of Homeland Security to develop an air cargo screening software suite that automatically parses air cargo waybills and detects and localizes the reported cargo contents within X-ray images obtained during screening.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Air Force to develop a compact quantum cascade laser (QCL) module that combines the outputs from seven high power mid-wave infrared QCLs using infrared fiber in a 7x1 fiber combiner configuration.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Space Force to develop the On-orbit Metrology system for Rigid Antenna array Panels (OMRAP), which uses a set of instrumented flexures to measure the out-of-plane deflections of large antenna arrays.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Space Force to develop a novel thermoradiative cell to convert waste heat in space-based solar systems into useful electrical power that decreases the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of next-generation spacecraft.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Army to develop a lightweight, low-cost cooling system that will replace the existing vapor-compression cycle with an air cycle machine.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop a spectral compressive sensing LiDAR (SpeCS-LiDAR).

Physical Sciences Inc (PSI), in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Lowell, has been awarded a program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a novel biomanufacturing process analytical technology tool that enables in-line, continuous measurement of the metabolism of host cells in bioreactors for the large-scale manufacturing of therapeutic viral vectors.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a standard fiber to photonic chip connector based on gray-scale 3D printing.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Department of Energy to design a transient-grating-based time-resolved circular dichroism module for background-free, wavelength-agnostic investigations of material chirality.
