About this award
The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a $1 million definitive contract to George Mason University on August 31, 2022, for advanced wireless communications research under the "5G to Next G" program. This initiative, issued as an open broad agency announcement posted in February 2021, seeks to accelerate implementation of advanced wireless communications technologies across four Department of Defense sites. The contract, which operates under a cost-no-fee pricing structure with an ultimate completion date of February 29, 2024, will be performed in Fairfax, Virginia, where George Mason University maintains its primary facilities. The award modification reflected a routine administrative update due to realignment within the Defense Contract Management Agency's oversight structure.
The contract work encompasses advanced 5G and millimeter-wave communications research, with three university subcontractors performing specialized technical tasks. Georgia Tech Research Corporation is developing reconfigurable origami antenna arrays for multibeam steering and frequency-agile millimeter-wave systems; Michigan State University is investigating interference management techniques for 5G systems operating in millimeter-wave spectrum to maximize link reliability and spectrum efficiency; and Arizona State University is designing tunable front-end filters and multi-phase wideband voltage-controlled oscillators at millimeter-wave frequencies using silicon technologies. These coordinated research efforts support the Department of Navy's strategic objective to mature 5G technology capabilities for potential deployment at designated defense installations in both continental and non-continental U.S. locations.
