About this award
This federal contract award was issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (BAE Systems) for the Quantum Apertures (QA) program. The $3,339,075.00 definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contract does not have a set-aside designation.
Under the contract, BAE Systems will deliver research and development services to demonstrate a quantum-based radio frequency (RF) receiver capable of receiving modulated signals across a wide spectral range of 10 MHz to 40 GHz. This effort supports DARPA's Microsystems Technology Office in advancing quantum sensing capabilities for defense applications. As a subcontractor, Coldquanta, Inc. (doing business as Infleqtion) will provide specialized quantum physics equipment, components, and technical services to support the program. The award is tied to a larger DARPA solicitation seeking innovative proposals to improve RF receiver sensitivity and demonstrate applications of quantum-based receivers.
