Low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) Radar Warning Receiver Payload

The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force (USAF), is seeking proposals for the development of a Low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) payload intended for integration on small satellite platforms operating in geostationary orbit (GEO). The objective is to create a low-cost RWR that can detect and characterize radar emissions, providing reliable indications and warnings to support space domain awareness (SDA) missions, while ensuring the system can survive launch and operate effectively in the harsh space environment. This initiative is crucial as it aims to enhance the USAF's capabilities in maintaining space superiority amidst increasing congestion and competition in the space domain. Interested parties must submit their proposals by September 24, 2025, with the opportunity being part of the SBIR program and available for both Phase I and Phase II funding.
