Sri International has been awarded a definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contract valued at approximately $1.1 million by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to demonstrate the potential for Quantum Apertures (QA) to receive modulated radio frequency (RF) signals across a very broad spectral range from 10 MHz to 40 GHz using a single sensing element with state-of-the-art sensitivity. The work will be performed in West Menlo Park, California over a period of approximately 30 months beginning in June 2021.

Through its solicitation HR001121S0002, DARPA sought proposals to develop a quantum-based RF receiver capable of fast and continuous tuning across wide frequencies, demonstrating sensor arrays and angle of arrival detection, and receiving arbitrary waveforms. Multiple awards totaling approximately $45 million are anticipated under the agency's program to support advances in receiver sensitivity and applications of quantum-based sensing technologies.
