MAYFLOWER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: This Mayflower SRG product addresses the limitations of current SAASM receivers that do no

Description

This Mayflower SRG product addresses the limitations of current SAASM receivers that do not allow for sidelobe tracking required for GEO operations and also do not meet the size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints of the intended Air Force platforms. As such, the SRG proposal when proven successful will meet an urgent Air Force need. Mayflower is proposing to study the feasibility of leveraging its SAASM GPS receiver technology for SRG design, modifying it for tracking both the main antenna lobe and sidelobes, and analyzing its feasibility to meet the performance and SWaP goals and space qualification requirements. The Phase I feasibility study will address these unique technology challenges and will culminate in a CDR presentation to the Air Force. The Phase II program will develop an engineering model of SRG leveraging Mayflower SAASM GPS receiver technology and will test its performance at Mayflower and at AFRL. The Phase III program will address the space qualification requirements of SRG and focus on its commercialization for production.
