Compact Passive Radar
AI Overview
This RFP seeks development of a compact, receive-only passive X-Band radar with SAR and GMTI capabilities for covert sensing in contested environments. The lightweight, low-cost system must operate on small unmanned platforms without transmitting RF emissions, eliminating adversary detection risks.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
In contested A2/AD environments, active radar emissions act as beacons for adversary Electronic Warfare. To ensure survivability, the DoW requires covert sensing utilizing "illuminators of opportunity." This effort requires a 100% receive-only payload; the sensor shall not transmit any RF energy.
Current passive systems are bulky, expensive, and primarily optimized for SIGINT/ESM rather than radar functionality. They lack the tightly synchronized, multi-channel receivers necessary for direct re...
