About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.32M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Metamagnetics Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Marlborough, Massachusetts, for research and development of reliable gyromagnetic non-linear transmission lines (GNLTL) at X-band frequencies. The award, issued on August 30, 2024, with a completion date of November 30, 2026, stems from AFRL's Directed Energy Directorate's Advanced Research Announcement, which solicits proposals across multiple advanced technology areas including directed energy sources, acquisition and tracking systems, and laboratory materials and services. Metamagnetics will leverage its specialized expertise in radio frequency and microwave technologies, magnetostatic wave resonators, and advanced magnetic materials to develop these critical electromagnetic components for defense applications.
This contract represents a continuation of the company's established relationship with AFRL and other defense agencies through multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program awards. Metamagnetics has demonstrated its capability in developing innovative RF solutions including auto-tune filters, circulators, isolators, and nonlinear transmission lines for electronic warfare and communications systems. The company also maintains a significant Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Navy valued at $6.1M, underscoring its role as a trusted supplier of specialized RF components to the U.S. military. The non-linear transmission lines developed under this AFRL contract will support the military's operational requirements in congested electromagnetic environments and directed energy applications.
