Multifrequency Position, Navigation, and Timing Antenna Solution

The United States government authority located in Washington, DC, requires a multifrequency position, navigation, and timing antenna solution. The agency is seeking to address vulnerabilities in modern battlefield environments where electronic warfare targets a variety of radio frequency signals, making single-frequency systems highly susceptible to brute-force jamming. To mitigate this threat, the agency needs a multiple radio frequency, configurable patch antenna that can be utilized in cannon and missile-based precision guided munitions to support multi-global navigation satellite systems and positioning, navigation, and timing signals of opportunity. The requested scope of work involves developing a tunable or configurable antenna that allows desired frequency bands to be determined at the time of mission execution, with minimal impact to received signal power. The selected provider must conduct an analysis showing related design trade-offs and fabricate prototype antennas to test and confirm their accuracy. All performance of the work will take place offsite. Eligibility is strictly limited to United States organizations. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget. The source document does not contain evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
