Supply of High-Performance RF Signal Generators

The National Research Council of Canada is seeking procurement of high-performance RF signal generators to support counter-unmanned aerial systems research, development, testing, and evaluation. The equipment must deliver advanced modulation capabilities, precise frequency sweeping, and realistic signal simulation to test and validate drone detection and jamming technologies under controlled laboratory and field conditions. These generators are critical for replicating the complex RF environments encountered during operational drone threat scenarios, enabling accurate assessment of countermeasure effectiveness and system performance limits. The contract is structured as a subcontract with a submission deadline of June 23, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 334515, indicating it pertains to the manufacturing of electronic instrumentation. All deliverables must be performed within Canada, consistent with the place of performance requirements. The acquisition supports national security objectives by enhancing Canada’s capability to respond to evolving UAV threats through rigorous and repeatable RF testing protocols, and participation is open to qualified suppliers capable of meeting the technical demands of high-frequency signal generation in a defense-oriented RDT&E context.
