About this award
Silurian AI Inc. received a $607,387.84 firm fixed-price contract award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on November 1, 2025, to support weather radar technology exploration for the National Weather Service under Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Tier 2 SILURIAN. The work is scheduled for completion by September 17, 2026, and will be performed in Kirkland, Washington. This award is part of NOAA's broader initiative to develop next-generation weather radar capabilities to replace the aging NEXRAD system, which comprises 158 S-band Doppler radars that have exceeded their 20-year design life. The solicitation welcomed proposals addressing radar network concepts, commercially owned radar networks, data integration, phased array radar technologies, and artificial intelligence applications, with awards anticipated to range from $200,000 to $1,000,000 across 5-15 total contract awards.
The BAA Tier 2 SILURIAN solicitation, posted in December 2024 with concept paper submissions due April 30, 2025, is designed to support NOAA's phased modernization program spanning from 2023 through 2040 and beyond. This modernization effort aims to address infrastructure obsolescence risks facing the current NEXRAD system, maintain data continuity, improve weather monitoring performance, and expand coverage to underserved communities through emerging technologies. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents one component of the broader NOAA initiative to develop a new weather radar network that will sustain critical weather forecasting and public safety capabilities for the National Weather Service.
