About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for the RAZR System developed by Resonant Sciences LLC. The notice details a sole source contract (FA2103-23-C-0001) for a sophisticated radar measurement system with unique capabilities, specifically highlighting Resonant Sciences as the only known vendor capable of manufacturing this specialized system. The RAZR System features a software-driven robotic arm that can position antenna arrays with exceptional precision (within 0.1 inches and 0.05 degrees accuracy), and can generate high-resolution 2D and 3D Radar Cross Section (RCS) images using advanced optical scanning technology. The system is designed for complex radar measurement tasks, with multiple operational configurations including static, static with actuated arm, and dynamic modes, and includes comprehensive safety features like proximity sensors and emergency stops. While the exact contract value is not specified, the contract was awarded on February 19, 2025, and falls under the Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences NAICS category, specifically focused on National Defense R&D Services for Atomic Energy Defense Activities.
Notice text
Resonant Sciences LLC has developed, built, delivered, and demonstrated the capabilities of the RAZR Systems to the U.S. Government. They are the only known source that has demonstrated the manufacturing capabilities of a RAZR System and its unique software-driven measurement system, as outlined below, to meet the requirements specified in Section III for the LRSO system. This RAZR system employs a software driven robotic arm to position the antenna array within 0.1 inches, achieving repeatable measurements with an accuracy of better than 0.05 degrees in both azimuth and elevation. Resonant Sciences has also proven via testing the RAZR aligns the unit under test for repeatable measurements and has collected accurate RCS measurements and then used a software to accurately match the RCS data. The RAZR utilizes a Radar System on a robotic arm and omni-directional base to generate very high resolution 2D and 3D RCS images. The RAZR integrates a state-of- the-art optical scanning capability to utilize the system under test as a reference. The LOPARS can be configured horizontally to collect high speed 2D synthetic aperture radar measurements with no mechanical movement. The RAZR can be utilized in a static configuration, a static configuration with an actuated arm for increased aperture size, or in a dynamic mode where the entire system traverses the aperture extent in traditional mobile measurement vehicle style collection. The software is setup to operate in a simplified operational collection mode for technicians or in an advanced engineering mode which provides the user more flexibility and diagnostic capabilities. RAZR is capable of making high resolution 3D RCS measurements with the LOPARS rotated by the robotic arm into a vertical configuration to collect elevation data. RAZR can also be used in a static configuration with the target rotating (Inverse SAR). The RAZR system also includes the required safety features (safety scanners, proximity sensors, emergency stops, and operator enable buttons) built into the system design to ensure safety of personnel and equipment from injury or damage.
Awarded contract FA2103-23-C-0001 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-02-19.
