The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the development of a Wideband 16x12 Non-Blocking Radio Frequency (RF) Switch. The objective is to create a dynamically reconfigurable, minimal latency 6U Virtual Path Cross-Connect (VPX) wideband RF switch that can handle multiple signals from various sources to increase autonomy and address emerging threats. The RF switch should operate from 1.5 MHz to 18 GHz and maintain present size, weight, power, and cooling (SWaPC) constraints. It should be able to route any of the 16 input apertures to any of the 12 output tuner channels while remaining dynamically reconfigurable. The proposed solution should adhere to open interface standards and include an Application Programmer Interface (API) and Interface Control Documents (ICD). The design should address performance metrics such as gain, isolation, noise figure, and switching time. The project will have a Phase I for design and development, Phase II for prototype development and demonstration, and Phase III for refinement, integration, and compliance with military standards. The selected contractor must be U.S. owned and operated with no foreign influence and have the ability to acquire and maintain a secret level facility and Personnel Security Clearances. The technology has potential dual-use applications in the commercial sector, particularly in the field of missile protection for commercial aircraft.
