About Fourth State Communications, LLC
Fourth State Communications, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, specializes in advanced communications technologies and research and development services for the Department of Defense. The company focuses on expeditionary and alternative communications systems, with particular expertise in beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) communications, non-satellite backhaul solutions, and communications capabilities designed for contested, disconnected, and bandwidth-limited environments. Fourth State Communications has established itself as a key innovator in supporting Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and broader Air Force operational requirements through its work on resilient mobile operations and specialized communications infrastructure.
Fourth State Communications has received substantial federal contract awards exclusively through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program administered by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The company has successfully completed or is currently executing multiple SBIR Phase I and Phase II contracts totaling approximately $7.4 million in cumulative awards since 2021. Notable contract efforts include development of next-generation beyond line-of-sight backhaul capabilities, redundant non-satellite communications systems, expeditionary non-satellite communications backhaul, improved thermo-scatter system technologies, backhaul size-weight-and-power (SWAP) improvements for contested environments, predictive ionospheric event forecasting, and the Integration for Resilient Mobile Operations Support Suite (MOSS) designed for disconnected, disrupted, intermittent, and limited-bandwidth (DDIL) environments. All contracts have been awarded as total small business set-asides and structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders. The majority of these efforts support AFSOC capabilities and agile combat employment strategies, with research execution conducted at the company's Cheyenne, Wyoming facility.
Fourth State Communications has received federal grant awards through the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to support basic research initiatives related to ionospheric phenomena and their impact on military communications. The company holds two prime grant awards under the Project Grant assistance type: "The Study of Equatorial Spread F (ESF) and the Ionospheric F3 Layer," awarded February 1, 2024, with completion targeted for November 30, 2027, and "Equatorial Plasma Bubbles Over Palau," awarded May 1, 2023, with completion on September 30, 2024. These research efforts complement the company's SBIR contract work by advancing fundamental understanding of ionospheric phenomena that affect naval and military communications systems in challenged operational environments. The grants represent Fourth State Communications' capability to conduct advanced scientific research supporting Department of Defense communications modernization and resilience objectives.
