About this award
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation Space Systems Division was awarded a $2.9 million definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to demonstrate a quantum-based radio frequency receiver as part of DARPA's Quantum Apertures program. The program seeks to develop a receiver capable of receiving modulated signals across a wide 10 MHz to 40 GHz spectral range using a single sensing element with state-of-the-art sensitivity. Work will be performed by Northrop Grumman at its facility in Redondo Beach, California over a two-year period ending August 2023. There is no set-aside designation for this competitively awarded contract to support DARPA's goals of improving receiver sensitivity while exploring applications such as sensor arrays and receiving arbitrary waveforms using quantum-based technology.
