UtopiaCompression Awarded AirForce Contract 

LOS ANGELES, CA (June, 2007)  UC has been awarded a Phase II SBIR contract by the Air Force to provide passive range detection capabilities to the Sense and Avoid (SAA) program. UC will be collaborating with Defense Research Associates during this project.

UC's selection by the Air Force is a reflection both of the hard work of UC's passive range detection project team and the team is looking forward to extending the Air Force's SAA capabilities with UC's technology.
