About this award
The Office of Naval Research awarded a $3.9M definitive contract to Excellerix, LLC on September 29, 2025, for the development of advanced digital post-processing capabilities to enhance naval electronic warfare (EW) systems. Under the contract, Excellerix will deploy the MENDER system to restore low-energy signals that have been degraded by frequency-selective limiters through advanced signal processing techniques utilizing commercial hardware. This technology mitigates both signal attenuation and nonlinear distortion, addressing critical challenges in contested electromagnetic environments where naval EW systems must maintain operational effectiveness. The contract is structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with a ceiling value of $3.9M and a completion deadline of September 28, 2028. All work will be performed at Excellerix's facility in Wappingers Falls, New York. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award.
Excellerix is a specialized defense electronics contractor headquartered in Wappingers Falls that brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, having accumulated approximately $20.3M in prior federal contract awards across thirteen prime contracts, predominantly from the Office of Naval Research and Naval Air Warfare Center. The company's core competencies in advanced signal processing, superconductor integrated circuits, and sensor technologies directly support naval modernization priorities. This award represents a continuation of Excellerix's sustained engagement in naval EW and sensor development, complementing the company's previous work on mine countermeasure systems, minesweeping payload development, and superconductor circuit optimization. The company's track record includes both Small Business Innovation Research Phase I and Phase II awards, as well as prior development contracts exceeding $6M, demonstrating proven capability in executing complex, long-duration technology development programs through completion.
