Phase I

Contract Number: N68335-06-C-0247
Start Date: 5/1/2006    Completed: 9/15/2007
Phase I year
2006
Phase I Amount
$99,973
The objective of the Phase 1 and 2 SBIR Program, Topic N06-038, "MULTI-PURPOSE ANTENNA", (MPA), is the development, of a multi-function antenna that can condense the current very high frequency/ultra-high frequency (VHF/UHF) line-of-sight, UHF satellite communication, L-band and global positioning system (GPS) functions into a single airborne aperture for the E-2C,. Currently the E-2C is covered with antennas for VHF/UHF line of sight, UHF SATCOM, L Band and GPS functions. There is a firm need to condense some of these functions into a single antenna.

Benefits:
An Ultra-wideband Antenna for aircraft, ships, vehicles(both military and commercial) would effectively reduce interference phenomena encountered in situations where high densities of conventional radiating elements are also required

Phase II

Start Date: 8/13/2007    Completed: 2/2/2010
Phase II year
