About this award
The U.S. Department of Defense awarded Georgia TECH Applied Research Corp (GTARC) a $7.22 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract in March 2019 to develop a solid-state transmitter (SSTX) in support of the Directed Energy Test Broad Agency Announcement. The contract, which concluded in January 2023, focused on designing a C-band transmitter utilizing power-combined solid-state amplifiers to generate high-power output signals for directed energy counter-electronics and area defense applications. The work was performed at GTARC's facility in Atlanta, Georgia. GTARC, a non-profit research organization affiliated with the Georgia Institute of Technology, was selected based on open competition without any small business set-aside designation, reflecting the contractor's established capabilities in advanced defense technologies.
GTARC leveraged subcontractor support from Caes Systems LLC, a Pennsylvania-based defense electronics manufacturer specializing in communications and electronic systems, which was brought onboard in August 2022. This contract represented part of the Office of the Secretary of Defense's broader investment in directed energy weapon development, a strategic priority area within the Department of Defense's technology portfolio. GTARC's involvement in this effort aligns with its demonstrated expertise across multiple defense-focused research areas, including electronic warfare and advanced sensor development, supported by its participation in several hundred-million-dollar IDIQ vehicles with the Air Force, Missile Defense Agency, and Office of the Secretary of Defense.
