About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $12.7 million definitive contract to Microwave Power Products, Inc. for development of extreme power, broadband amplifiers and agile waveform techniques under the Waveform Agile Radio-Frequency Directed Energy (WARDEN) program on September 27, 2021. The contract carries a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with an ultimate completion date of October 26, 2026.
The originating solicitation seeks to extend the range of high-power microwave back-door attack by a factor of ten beyond current state-of-the-art capability. Technical Area 1 focuses on producing a traveling-wave amplifier meeting specified bandwidth and power handling goals within 48 months. Work includes development of computational models for electromagnetic coupling prediction and tools for identifying electronic system vulnerabilities. Place of performance is Palo Alto, CA. Research is conducted under PSC code R408 and NAICS code 541715, with potential work classified at the Secret level. The WARDEN program anticipated multiple awards across four phases totaling $51 million; this award represents TA1 funding.
