SEA CORP has received notice of an award for a project to develop Ultra Wide Bandwidth High Dynamic Range Digital Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Receivers for the Submarine Force under the Navy’s Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program.
This Phase I award is a $100,000 concept development project that can lead to a million dollar prototype development phase and subsequent product commercialization.The technology needed by the Navy will develop a total engineering solution to provide for a 100% probability of intercept of threat electromagnetic signals in today’s dense and complex environment without causing ambiguous of erroneous reports. The technology involves the detection and analysis of threat signals with widely varying parameters. The Navy is also looking for a technical solution that reduces the cost of the currently employed system by 20 percent.
The SBIR Program has been a very important element in SEA CORP’s business development strategy. SEA CORP has won a number of SBIRs and has two SBIRs that have been selected as Navy SBIR Success Stories. SEA CORP’s SBIR contracts have provided nearly $40 Million in contract funding to the company.
SEA CORP’s Project Manager, Pat Harrington, said, “This is a very complex project that requires the knowledge of not only our top-notch engineers, but also SEA CORPs technicians who have had long careers aboard our submarines and have an in-depth knowledge of the at-sea electronic threat environment.” “We are looking forward to the technology challenge.”, he added.
