About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a definitive contract to Georgia TECH Applied Research Corp for the Quantum Apertures program on June 21, 2021, with a ceiling value of $2,768,242 under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing and ultimate completion by August 1, 2027.
The Quantum Apertures program aims to demonstrate the utility of Rydberg sensors as part of a portable RF receiver system in defense applications. The originating solicitation HR001121S0002 sought proposals to develop a quantum-based radio frequency receiver capable of receiving modulated signals across 10 MHz to 40 GHz using a single sensing element with state-of-the-art sensitivity, achieve fast and continuous tuning across a broad frequency range, demonstrate sensor arrays and angle of arrival detection, and receive arbitrary waveforms. Multiple awards totaling approximately $45 million were anticipated over four years across two technical areas: improving receiver sensitivity and exploring applications including sensor arrays and arbitrary waveform reception. Work is performed in Atlanta, Georgia. Personnel must hold security clearances up to the Secret//Special Access Required level.
