Zolo Technologies Awarded $750K contract for Tomography in Hypersonic flows

Boulder, Colorado –27 October, 2005 – Zolo Technologies announces that it has been awarded an Air Force Phase II STTR award for work entitled “Dense Wavelength-Multiplexed Sensors for Tomography in Hypersonic Flows Using Diode-Laser Technology”. The two-year, $750k contract starts immediately and focuses on the development of new hardware for ground-testing SCRAMJET-powered flight vehicles. Zolo utilizes wavelength-multiplexed spectroscopy sensor technology to monitor combustion parameters inside operating engines. “We are very pleased with this award as it allows Zolo to continue development of our advanced sensor technology for aeropropulsion systems that will ultimately have wide applicability for defense and civilian aviation. The technology will allow more efficient engines with lower emissions to be developed. In some cases with very advanced propulsion systems such as SCRAMJETs, the sensor may represent the key enabling technology that allows the engine to operate properly,” says Dr. Andy Sappey Zolo’s CTO and principal scientist for the project. Zolo teamed with researchers in the Mechanical Engineering department at Stanford University to win the award.

Zolo Technologies, Inc. combines 30 years of manufacturing experience with cutting-edge
technology to deliver the state-of-the-art spectroscopy sensors that enable combustion optimization
in everything from power plants to jet engines.
