About this award

The Research Development and Engineering Command, a Defense agency, awarded a $12.28 million ceiling cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Systems & Technology Research LLC on September 19, 2024, for research and development of an advanced, software-defined signal emulation capability to support test and evaluation of current- and emerging-generation radio frequency systems. No set-aside was used. Place of performance is Woburn, Massachusetts, with ultimate completion on May 24, 2028.

The subcontract record shows the hardware path under this effort. Agile RF Systems LLC received two subawards dated October 29, 2024 for a wideband electronically phased array. The requirement calls for x-band capability demonstration in a six-month Phase 1 that requires an existing supplier design, with a design path to 4-12 GHz in later phases. A second Agile RF Systems subaward dated March 10, 2025 requires the subcontractor to provide all facilities, equipment, and personnel necessary to perform the services, except those the subcontractor identified and STR authorized in writing. X-Microwave, LLC received a subaward dated October 15, 2025 in support of STR under the Naboo Project.
