IERUS TECHNOLOGIES INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: A20-117
IERUS TECHNOLOGIES INC — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $1,518,000, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.

Description
IERUS proposes the development of a SATCOM OTM terminal capable of multi-beam operation which will reduce - or eliminate - gaps in communication switchovers during satellite transitions. This proposed system consists of a 3D-printed lens acting as a passive beamformer, reconfigurable array for wideband frequency coverage, and a switched beam steering network. The combination of these subsystems result in a design that is cost-effective while still meeting the performance requirements driven by the operational SATCOM OTM environment.
