AI Contract Overview

DARPA plans to engage General Atomics for the research and development of remote, battery-powered sensor networks designed primarily for military applications such as detecting hostile personnel. The proposed sensor network leverages General Atomics' innovative Spectral Keying(TM) ultra-wideband (UWB) radar technology, which offers real-time video surveillance, covert operation, long battery life, and strong resistance to false alarms. General Atomics is currently the sole vendor utilizing this unique radar technique, which distinguishes their system from existing UWB radar technologies by providing enhanced capabilities critical to the intended operational environment. The notice serves an informational purpose and is not a formal request for proposals. Interested contractors with relevant capabilities are invited to submit statements within 45 days to be considered for potential competitive procurement. The contract, titled “A -- Low power remote sensor networks,” was posted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and reflects ongoing efforts to advance sensor network technologies that improve military situational awareness through innovative, low-power, and resilient sensing solutions.

Full Description

DARPA intends to enter into a contract with General Atomics for research and development pertaining to remote, battery powered sensor networks. These networks can be utilized for a variety of military purposes including hostile personnel detection. The General Atomics proposal makes innovative use of the Spectral Keying (TM) UWB radar method toward this end. The result is a sensor network that can provide live, real time video of hostile personnel intrusions, is covert, active for extended periods and resistant to false alarms. General Atomics is the only vendor known to make use of the innovative Spectral Keying (TM)UWB radar method to develop sensors that would serve as the foundation of a network with the characteristics described above. This method provides a number of unique advantages over current UWB radar technology. This notice is for informational purposes only. This notice is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). Contractors capable of offering their service must respond within 45 days after publication of this notice by submitting a specific capability statement to provide the service. All responses received within 45 days after publication of this notice will be considered by the Government solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
