Vector ElectroMagnetics LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: A18-087

Description

Vector ElectroMagnetics, LLC (Vector) has extensive experience developing innovative radome solutions and specific experience working with the Government and DOD Prime Contractors developing advanced radome solutions for extremely high power antenna systems.In Phase I, Vector will develop multiple design solutions with significantly less transmission loss than 1 dB with extremely low reflection over a 9 to 20 GHz bandwidth.Solutions developed by Vector will be based on proven analysis and material systems. Also during the Phase I, Vector will validate the RF performance through Low Power RF tests and support government and/or DOD Prime Contractor testing at High Power.Vector is proposing to develop the required ultra-wideband ultra-low loss radome through a systems engineering approach that involves an integrated product team (IPT) that includes government personnel, prime contractor personnel and Vector engineers and designers.At the conclusion of the Phase I effort,Vector will work with the government and DOD Prime Contractors to develop a Phase II plan to support the integration of the developed Ultra-Wideband Ultra-Low Loss radome designs in next generation antenna programs through the execution of a Phase II and Phase III Efforts.
