Peraton Labs Inc., doing business as Applied Communication Sciences, has been awarded a definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contract valued at $19.8 million by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop Resilient Networked Distributed Mosaic Communications. The contract aims to advance DARPA's goal of distributed coherent communications through transceiver tiles that form directional beams using signal processing rather than a physical antenna. Key subcontractors include Mouser Electronics, NCS Technologies, Trellisware Technologies, and Collins Aerospace Government Systems. There is no set-aside designation. The work directly responds to DARPA's solicitation seeking proposals for a bi-directional mosaic element system compatible with tactical radio waveforms, with technical objectives including long-range communications, enhanced signal-to-noise ratio through distributed transceiver tiles, interference suppression, and accurate relative tile positioning.
