About this award

This federal contract award to Systems & Technology Research LLC (STR), a for-profit limited liability company based in Woburn, Massachusetts, was issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory. The $5,245,532 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is for the development of "Smaller Targeting Radars with Integrated Performance Equivalency."

The contract work supports the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Beyond Linear Processing (BLiP) program, which aims to improve radar performance through innovative signal processing techniques beyond current linear methods. STR will perform applied research, design, development, and prototyping to advance capabilities in areas such as iterative and non-linear signal processing, non-repetitive waveforms, multi-hypothesis track-before-detect, and main-beam interference mitigation.

The contract has two major subcontractors - the University of Oklahoma and the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. - who will provide support services to create an end-to-end radar waveform selection, processing chain, and tracker capability. There is no set-aside designation for this contract.
