Multi-Channel Wideband Antenna Array Manifolds Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-020 Topic Title: Multi-Channel Wideband Antenna Array Manifolds Proposal No.: N101-020-0587 Firm: RDRTec Inc. 3737 Atwell St. Suite 208 Dallas, Texas 75209 Contact: Sidney Theis Phone: (214) 213-5579 Abstract: RDRTec Inc. proposes to develop and prove the feasibility of an adaptive multi-channel phased array manifold that reconfigures by radar mode for optimum performance. The emphasis will be on candidate multi-mode X or C-band radars with phased arrays that support modes with both high and low bandwidth requirements. High bandwidth modes include Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR), and High Range Resolution (HRR). Relatively low bandwidth modes include Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), Maritime Moving Target Indicator (MMTI), Air-to-Air (AA) and Sense and Avoid (SAA) modes. The target initial transition platform is the Fire Scout but the lessons learned may impact other future Navy ISR radars. Benefits: The anticipated benefit is the improved performance of multimode radars. Return
