Joint Radar & Communication Waveforms
AI Overview
This RFP seeks development of Dual-Functional Radar-Communication (DFRC) waveforms that embed data directly into radar pulses, eliminating the need for separate communication links on surveillance platforms. Proposed phases progress from waveform design through hardware prototyping to integration with existing military sensor networks.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
Conventionally radar sensing and communications require separate hardware on surveillance platforms, which adds complexity and latency. Data-encoded waveforms use waveform diversity or modulated pulses to carry additional information. A Dual-functional Radar Communication (DFRC) scheme is where arbitrary communication info is encoded in pulse shapes rather than sent over a dedicated communication link. Phase I is to design chirp/phase-modulated schemes that encode additional information into a r...
Change History
Joint Radar & Communication Waveforms
**Summary of Q&A Changes:** Added 1 new question (Q1): Clarifies eligibility—topic OSW26BZ05-DV020 is open to both Phase I proposals and Direct to Phase II proposals. All other questions (now Q2–Q6) remain substantively unchanged; they were renumbered due to the new Q1 insertion.

These Q&As clarify that Phase I applicants have flexibility in defining their technical approach, performance metrics, and reference scenarios—they need not wait for government-provided specifications—but must justify their choices and be prepared to evaluate multiple technical paths (base-code, chirped-rate, or OTFS waveforms) or recommend a preferred approach for Phase II.
