Radial Research & Development LTD

Radial Research & Development LTD, doing business as Radial R&D, is a small business corporation based in Fairborn, Ohio, that specializes in advanced defense technology research and development. The company serves as a prime contractor to the federal government, providing sophisticated research and development services with particular expertise in signal processing, radar technologies, and radio frequency sensor systems. Operating as a Subchapter S Corporation registered in SAM.gov since June 2017, Radial R&D leverages its proximity to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to support critical defense initiatives in sensor development and integration.

Radial R&D has successfully secured multiple prime federal contract awards from the Air Force Research Laboratory and Naval Air Warfare Center, demonstrating a strong track record in specialized technical domains. The company received a $5.16 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee definitive contract from AFRL in December 2022 for multi-look simultaneous processing technologies, with performance extending through March 31, 2026, performed at the contractor's Fairborn facility without small business set-aside designation. Under the Small Business Innovation Research program, Radial R&D was awarded a $1.76 million SBIR Phase II contract by AFRL in July 2024 for the development of novel high-resolution distributed radar processing for littoral and open ocean environments, with completion scheduled for October 19, 2026. The company also received a $1.1 million SBIR Phase II contract from Naval Air Warfare Center in July 2021 for research and development activities in signal processing and radar technologies, with performance in Beavercreek, Ohio, completed in August 2024. Most recently, AFRL awarded Radial R&D a $356,790 delivery order under the Architecture Refinement, Demonstration and Integration Systems Call 07 program in August 2025, focused on Science and Technology Applied Radio Frequency Strategy initiatives with completion targeted for August 26, 2026. These awards collectively demonstrate Radial R&D's capabilities in passive radar technology, distributed radar processing, antenna technologies, bandwidth-constrained electronic warfare, and advanced signal processing for defense applications.

Radial R&D holds a significant multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $94.975 million from the Air Force Research Laboratory, awarded on August 25, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 25, 2031. This IDV supports the Architecture Refinement, Demonstration and Integration Systems (ARDIS) Call 07 program focused on Science and Technology Applied Radio Frequency Strategy initiatives and falls under the broader Science and Technology Applied RF Systems (STARS) parent master IDIQ. The contract emphasizes integrating advanced sensors, processing, and exploitation capabilities for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) applications across various weapon systems, including demonstrating integrated sensor systems and conducting ground and flight tests with multiple sensor and processing technology combinations. Under this vehicle, AFRL has already issued an initial delivery order to Radial R&D valued at $356,790 in August 2025, representing the first task order exercise and demonstrating the government's confidence in the company's technical capabilities aligned with applied Radio Frequency strategy and integrated C4ISR sensor system development.
