About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $7.13 million definitive contract to Physical Sciences Inc. for Atmosphere as a Sensor (ATMOSENSE) on January 14, 2021, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure with no set-aside.
The originating solicitation (HR001120S0036, posted March 4, 2020) sought proposals for modeling, simulation, and experimentation related to atmospheric disturbances and novel sensing modalities utilizing atmospheric data for defense applications. Phase 1 research addresses electromagnetic signal propagation from high-altitude transient events such as bolides in the ELF and VLF frequency range to ground-based sensor networks at distances exceeding 1,000 kilometers, including assessment of existing and developmental models and quantification of signal fraction reaching sensors as a function of emission altitude and range.
Place of performance is Andover, MA. The contract ceiling is $7.13 million with an ultimate completion date of December 30, 2024. The Trustees of Boston College serves as a subcontractor, performing Phase 1 Year 1 and Year 2 review and modeling tasks for electromagnetic signal propagation assessment.
