Under the Pulsed Ultrastable Lasers for Synthetic Aperture Radar (PULSAR) SBIR, Vector Atomic will design a time transfer module capable of synchronizing distributed radar assets to better than 1 femtosecond.
Benefit: Such a device would improve global-scale timing synchronization a million-fold over current RF-based time transfer systems, strengthening GPS and enabling new capabilities such as multi-static radar, space-based LIDAR, and jam-resistant positioning.
