AI Contract Overview

The contract focuses on applied research and development to create and demonstrate advanced, agile RF front-end systems featuring multifunction transmit/receive capabilities. This involves the use of reconfigurable RF and mixed-signal components that integrate radar, communications, and electronic warfare suites into a single platform. The REMAR module is distinguished by a configurable architecture, adaptable frequency plan, tunable bandwidth, scalable power options, and agile waveform capabilities. The system aims to achieve critical performance targets including ultra-wide bandwidth, high dynamic range, low phase noise, environmental compensation, autonomous on-chip calibration, and precise bias control. The ultimate goal is to produce a highly flexible system that significantly reduces cost, size, weight, and power requirements for advanced sensor technologies essential to military applications. The contractor is required to assess and develop reconfigurable RF/mixed-signal components embedded with digital control for on-the-fly adaptability, enabling simultaneous execution of multiple sensor functions. Deliverables include system capability demonstrations and performance impact analyses at designated milestones. The project emphasizes innovative approaches to enhance system flexibility without sacrificing performance, including on-the-fly adaptable system configurations such as polarization, frequency, bandwidth, power, and waveform adjustments; cognitive functionalities for rapid and anticipatory responses; coordinated, network-enabled distributed capabilities; broadband and multispectral performance; and advanced protection and survivability techniques. This effort is managed by the Department of Defense’s Air Force Research Laboratory, headquartered at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio.

Full Description

The objective is to conduct applied R&D to develop and demonstrate leap-ahead agile RF front-end systems with multi-function transmit / receive technology by employing reconfigurable RF & mixed-signal components which enable integrated Radar, Communications, & EW suites within a single platform. Salient features of the REMAR module are (1) configurable system architecture, (2) adaptable frequency plan, (3) tunable instantaneous bandwidth, (4) scalable DC & RF power, and (5) agile waveform. Critical performance goals for the system include ultra wide bandwidth, high dynamic range, low phase noise, environmental compensation, on-chip calibration to enable autonomous adaptation, & precise bias control. Ultimately, the REMAR technology will result in a highly flexible system with dramatic cost, size, weight, and power (CSWAP) reduction for future advanced sensor technology critical to the warfighter. Contractor shall systematically assess and develop leap-ahead reconfigurable RF/mixed-signal components with embedded digital control to enable adaptable On-The-Fly (OTF) electronics capable of performing multiple sensor functions simultaneously. System capability demonstrations and performance impact analysis are required by contractor at the end of the baseline period of performance with updated demonstration/analysis at the end of the option period. Contractor shall seek to identify and demonstrate advanced technologies and novel techniques to increase system flexibility without compromising performance. Advanced techniques such as (1) OTF adaptable system configuration (polarization, frequency, bandwidth, power, & waveform); (2) cognitive (very low latency reactionary and anticipatory) functionality; (3) coordinated & distributed network enabled capability; (4) broadband & multi spectral performance; & (5) advanced protection/survivability techniques are desirable attributes for REMAR.
