Radar Signal Processing Improvements for Probability of Detection

The Department of Defense, specifically the Army, is seeking innovative solutions to enhance radar signal processing capabilities to improve the probability of detection for longer-range threats without compromising current scan times. The objective is to develop novel signal processing techniques that can be integrated into existing ground-based radar systems, with an emphasis on conducting a feasibility study during Phase I, which includes laboratory simulations and a test plan. This initiative is critical for advancing radar technology, with potential applications in various fields such as drone detection, weather monitoring, and healthcare. Proposals for Phase I are due by February 26, 2025, with a funding limit of $250,000 for a six-month performance period.
