Design of a Planar Array Antenna for Electric Magnetic Pulse (EMP) and High Power Microwave (HPM) Testing

The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking proposals for the development of a portable and reconfigurable planar array antenna system designed for Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and High Power Microwave (HPM) testing. The primary objective is to create a system that can be rapidly deployed and configured for various testing scenarios, capable of supporting a 20-meter missile and scalable for different sizes, while ensuring compatibility with existing and future EMP sources. This initiative addresses the critical need for advanced testing capabilities, as current EMP simulators are limited in functionality and availability. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on January 8, 2025, with proposals due by February 5, 2025, and further details can be found at the provided source link.
