About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a $179,985.67 firm fixed-price purchase order to Electro-Magnetic Applications, Incorporated (EMA), a small business based in Lakewood, Colorado, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 program. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, addresses the numerical simulation of VLF (very low frequency) antennas in space plasma environments. This award, announced on March 28, 2025, with completion targeted for December 29, 2025, supports AFRL's research objectives in advanced electromagnetic modeling and space-based communication systems. EMA will perform the work at its Lakewood facility.
EMA brings substantial experience in electromagnetic simulation and space radiation effects modeling through its SBIR and STTR portfolio with AFRL, the Navy, and NASA. The company specializes in developing computational design tools and engineering simulation technologies for complex national security and aerospace applications. This contract leverages EMA's existing expertise in electromagnetic field analysis and space environment effects to advance understanding of VLF antenna performance in plasma conditions, which has implications for space situational awareness, satellite communications, and space weather research supported by the Department of the Air Force's broader innovation initiatives.
