Signal Processing and ID Decoding Software Development

The contract involves the development of specialized software algorithms designed to decode satellite identification signals transmitted by ELROI using pulsed optical methods. The focus is on operating effectively in low-signal and high-noise environments by employing BCH error-correcting codes to enhance signal clarity and accuracy. This work is critical for reliable identification of satellite IDs under challenging signal conditions. Issued by a Department of Energy contractor, specifically Triad, the subcontract is classified under NAICS code 511210, which pertains to software publishers. The performance location for this development effort is Los Alamos, and the contract was posted in mid-May of 2026, with a response deadline set for late August 2026. The solicitation emphasizes advanced signal processing techniques as part of the deliverables, contributing to the broader mission of secure and precise satellite communication and tracking.
