About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $6,973,290.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration Inc. to support the Waveform Agile Radio-frequency Directed Energy (WARDEN) program. The goal of WARDEN is to extend the range of high power microwave back-door attack capabilities by a factor of 10 beyond the current state-of-the-art. Under this definitive contract, BAE Systems will perform research and development to create extreme power, broadband amplifiers and agile waveform techniques. Key technical objectives include developing a traveling-wave amplifier meeting specified bandwidth and power metrics, computational models for electromagnetic coupling prediction, and tools for identifying electronic system vulnerabilities. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. BAE Systems has subcontracted portions of the work to the University of Missouri System, which has experience supporting federal research and development programs through contracts and grants.

Description

The goal of the waveform agile radio-frequency directed energy (WARDEN) program is to extend the range of high power microwave (HPM) back-door attack by a factor of 10 beyond the current state of the art.
