About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $439,446 definitive contract to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. for weather radar technology exploration focused on phased array radar systems on July 15, 2025, under a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA TIER 1) with no set-aside.
The originating solicitation seeks innovative research proposals to develop next-generation weather radar technology, including radar network concepts, commercially owned radar networks, data integration, phased array radar technologies, and artificial intelligence applications to replace the aging NEXRAD system. Place of performance is Melbourne, Florida. The contract is priced firm fixed price with a ceiling value of $439,446 and an ultimate completion date of May 15, 2026. The BAA anticipated 5–15 total awards ranging from $200,000–$1,000,000 individually, with work to support development of a new weather radar network addressing infrastructure obsolescence risks as the current NEXRAD system of 158 S-band Doppler radars has exceeded its 20-year design life.
