About this award
The Office of Naval Research awarded Raytheon Company's Advanced Products & Solutions division a $46.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract on April 25, 2022, for the Agnostic Signal Processing and Increased Radar Efficiency (ASPIRE) program. This effort aims to enhance radar performance through the development of wideband, arbitrary waveforms and heterogeneous computing capabilities to support advanced computationally intensive digital signal processing. Work is being performed at Raytheon's facility in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of January 15, 2027. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation following competitive procedures and represents a strategic investment in next-generation radar signal processing technologies for naval applications.
Raytheon has established a robust subcontractor base supporting ASPIRE's technical and manufacturing requirements. Key subcontractors include Accusemble Electronics Inc. for custom circuit card assemblies, Sanmina Corporation for printed wiring boards, K&L Microwave LLC for filters and multiplexers, Samtec Inc. for cable and fiber optic assemblies, and electronic component distributors Digi-Key Electronics and Mouser Electronics for specialized semiconductors, amplifiers, and RF components. Additional support providers include Borg Design Inc. for precision machined parts and Trs-Rentelco for test equipment rentals. This diverse subcontractor network reflects the program's comprehensive approach to developing integrated radar signal processing systems combining hardware, manufacturing, and test capabilities essential for advanced waveform generation and processing functionality.
