- Description
- Model Contract Statement of Work (SOW) Template Section K - Reps & Certs Contract Data Requirements List (CDRLs) Statement of Objectives (SOO) BAA Initial Announcement The objective is to conduct applied R&D to develop and demonstrate leap-ahead agile RF front-end systems with multi-function transmit / receive technology by employing reconfigurable RF & mixed-signal components which enable integrated Radar, Communications, & EW suites within a single platform. Salient features of the REMAR module are (1) configurable system architecture, (2) adaptable frequency plan, (3) tunable instantaneous bandwidth, (4) scalable DC & RF power, and (5) agile waveform. Critical performance goals for the system include ultra wide bandwidth, high dynamic range, low phase noise, environmental compensation, on-chip calibration to enable autonomous adaptation, & precise bias control. Ultimately, the REMAR technology will result in a highly flexible system with dramatic cost, size, weight, and power (CSWAP) reduction for future advanced sensor technology critical to the warfighter. Contractor shall systematically assess and develop leap-ahead reconfigurable RF/mixed-signal components with embedded digital control to enable adaptable On-The-Fly (OTF) electronics capable of performing multiple sensor functions simultaneously. System capability demonstrations and performance impact analysis are required by contractor at the end of the baseline period of performance with updated demonstration/analysis at the end of the option period. Contractor shall seek to identify and demonstrate advanced technologies and novel techniques to increase system flexibility without compromising performance. Advanced techniques such as (1) OTF adaptable system configuration (polarization, frequency, bandwidth, power, & waveform); (2) cognitive (very low latency reactionary and anticipatory) functionality; (3) coordinated & distributed network enabled capability; (4) broadband & multi spectral performance; & (5) advanced protection/survivability techniques are desirable attributes for REMAR.
