Multifrequency Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Antenna Solution
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Department of the Army is seeking Phase I Small Business Innovation Research proposals to develop a multifrequency, configurable patch antenna for gun-hardened, precision-guided munitions to support positioning, navigation, and timing operations in electronic warfare environments. Contractors will design a tunable patch antenna that supports multi-global navigation satellite systems and signals of opportunity while minimizing impact to received signal power, with an objective requirement to support continuous frequencies from UHF to X-band. Phase I work requires modeling and simulation to demonstrate expected performance, design trade-offs, and mechanical dimensions, whereas Phase II will focus on fabricating and testing prototype antennas under extreme environmental conditions. Phase I submissions have a cost limit of up to $300,000 for a one-to-six-month period of performance, with applications due by June 24, 2026, at 4:00 PM.
