San Diego, CA (June 2003)

The Army Quality Awards program recognizes top Army SBIR Phase II projects for their technical achievement, contribution to the Army, and dual-use commercialization potential.  Each year, a distinguished panel of Army and industry experts selects the winning projects from nominations submitted across the Army.  Throughout the year, the winners and their accomplishments are showcased at Army conferences and symposia.

This year, Surface Optics Corporation and the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) were chosen for this award for their work on Hyperspectral Data Fusion . Only six awards were given out Army-wide.
