S2 to work on EM spectrum receiver for USN
DARPA has selected S2 Corporation to build and demonstrate a prototype broadband electro-magnetic (EM) spectrum receiver system.
A $9 million contract from the Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic, announced by the DoD on 26 August, includes an 8-month base period and an 18-month option period. The latter, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of the contract to an estimated $20.96 million.
Work will be completed in February 2022 (August 2023 if the option is exercised).
S2 Corporation was selected after a competitive tender involving a total of 24 participants.
The company was one of 12 companies selected by the Office of Naval Research in 2016 to research new kinds of antennae that communications, radar, and EW systems can share.
