This is a $48,732,323.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation. The contract supports a DARPA research project to develop algorithms that can rapidly create synthetic imagery of maritime targets for training Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems using sparse Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. This is a definitive contract with no set-aside designation. The period of performance extends through September 24, 2026.
As part of this effort, Northrop Grumman has subcontracted with Maxtek Components Corporation, a small business, to provide semiconductor devices and related components. This award is tied to a broader DARPA Broad Agency Announcement focused on generating synthetic SAR imagery for maritime applications. The research aims to advance the government's ability to train ATR algorithms using limited real-world sensor data, which could enhance capabilities in areas like electronic warfare and naval surface warfare.
