NOTE: (THIS BAA IS A RE-PUBLICATION OF DARPA BAA 07-19 SUSPENDED ON 13 FEBRUARY 2007)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting research proposals in the area of survivability of microwave receiver front-ends from high energy threats. The objective is to create a microwave receiver front-end which can withstand high energy exposure without compromising receiver sensitivity, bandwidth, or dynamic range.
The objective of the Electromagnetic Pulse Tolerant Microwave Receiver Front-End program is to develop a novel robust and sensitive microwave receiver front-end capable of surviving high energy electromagnetic attacks. The robust RF front-end technology developed should be scalable to operate within the 0.5-18 GHz frequency band over as large a fractional bandwidth as feasible while maintaining high sensitivity. The program will culminate in a full system performance demonstration leading to military system transition opportunities.
DARPA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) No. 07-45, entitled "Electromagnetic Pulse Tolerant Microwave Receiver Front-End," is provided as an attachment to this solicitation notice and includes information on the specific areas of interest; the submission process; abstract and proposal formats; evaluation and selection/funding processes; as well as all other pertinent administrative and contractual information.
