RF Sensor Network Design & IntegrationThe contract involves the design and integration of a multi-domain RF sensor network specifically engineered to detect and characterize frequency-agile unmanned aerial systems. This effort requires advanced signal processing capabilities to identify, track, and classify UAS threats in complex electromagnetic environments, with an emphasis on real-time situational awareness and adaptive response. The solution must be scalable, ruggedized for field operations, and capable of seamless operation across multiple domains including ground, air, and potentially space-based platforms. Deployment planning is a critical component, ensuring the network can be rapidly installed and configured in diverse operational terrains with minimal logistical footprint. The system must interoperate with existing military command, control, communications, and intelligence systems to feed actionable data into broader defense architectures. Performance requirements include high sensitivity to low-power signals, resistance to jamming and spoofing, and the ability to function autonomously in contested or denied environments. The work is to be performed in West Fork, Arkansas, under a subcontract arrangement with the Department of Defense, leveraging NAICS code 334511 for electronic component and product manufacturing.
