About this award
The Probitas Project, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Vienna, Virginia, received a $1.8M cost-plus-fixed-fee Research and Development contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. This Total Small Business set-aside contract, awarded on November 20, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of November 20, 2024, involved an extension of Contract Line Items 0003-0004 through June 30, 2024. The work, performed in Vienna, Virginia, focuses on developing and demonstrating algorithms to enhance and optimize the performance of the Navy's AN/SPS-73(V)18 Next Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR) by leveraging its software-defined capabilities.
Building on Phase I research, the Phase II effort under this contract encompasses waveform design and selection analyses to address NGSSR challenges including detection and tracking of closely spaced and weak targets in complex environments. The work includes development of a Hierarchical Fully Adaptive Radar framework and exploration of cognitive approaches to radar resource management and waveform selection. A significant component involves developing a Spectrum Sensing and Avoidance algorithm to evaluate receiver data, estimate spectrum occupancy, and predict spectral usage. Metron Incorporated, a small business scientific consulting firm specializing in advanced data analytics and defense solutions, served as a subcontractor on this effort, bringing expertise in signal processing and adaptive algorithms for marine systems.
