M.M.A. DESIGN LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: AF083-198
M.M.A. DESIGN LLC — 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 $2,287,506, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.

Description
As Department of Defense (DoD) needs and requirements change, there is a developing need for Radio Frequency (RF) antenna systems that can support higher performance missions. These missions require increased apertures to be available from the same satellite platform, and will additionally require that this capability be delivered at a lower mission cost. MMA Design has developed a concept for a new deployable reflectarray antenna architecture that leverages a flight demonstrated deployable membrane de-orbit system, currently at TRL-9 and MRL-9, and modifies that system to include RF antenna capabilities over a wide range of frequencies.
