About this award
The Office of Naval Research awarded a $56.853 million definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for DARPA research on January 3, 2023, with no set-aside and a ceiling value extending through April 30, 2027.
The originating solicitation, posted as a DARPA Pre-Solicitation on March 3, 2022, sought proposals to develop algorithms capable of rapidly generating synthetic aperture radar imagery of maritime targets using sparse training data. The program anticipated multiple awards for a 15-month base period, with evaluation based on the ability to recreate original datasets when trained on limited data, measured by normalized probability of identification scores. Offerors were required to submit a draft protection plan and could conduct initial work in unclassified facilities using government-provided limited SAR imagery and metadata for model training and evaluation.
Place of performance is Linthicum Heights, MD. The contract is priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation structures the effort with subcontractors including Thermavant Technologies LLC (thermal management systems), International Business Machines Corp (electronic computer manufacturing), Globalfoundries U.S. 2 LLC (semiconductor manufacturing), and a team of specialized component manufacturers including Oncore Manufacturing LLC, Synopsys Inc., Padova Technologies Inc., and All TECH Electronics Inc. Primary NAICS codes span research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (541712, 541711) and semiconductor device manufacturing (334413), with secondary PSC codes covering electrical and electronic assemblies (5320) and professional engineering and technical support (7030).
