About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $999,815 firm fixed-price delivery order to Aloft Sensing, Inc., a small business based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to validate and demonstrate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) performance aboard the PHASA-35 high-altitude platform during operational flight testing. The contract encompasses data processing, data product delivery, and technical reporting to support government assessment of the radar system's capabilities. Work will be performed in Ann Arbor, with an anticipated completion date of March 8, 2027. This delivery order was not issued under a set-aside designation and represents a continuation of AFRL's investment in advanced radar sensing technologies for autonomous and reconnaissance platforms.
Aloft Sensing specializes in developing sophisticated SAR, moving target indication (MTI), and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies for defense applications, with an established track record of delivery orders and research grants from AFRL. The PHASA-35 is a high-altitude long-endurance platform designed for persistent surveillance and reconnaissance missions, making it an ideal test bed for validating next-generation SAR systems. This contract aligns with the company's core competencies in embedded radar processing and operational validation, building on previous AFRL-funded efforts to integrate and demonstrate advanced sensing payloads on elevated platforms.
