BEAM-WAVE RESEARCH, INCORPORATED — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: The proposed program is for the design of a multiple-beam electron gun and beam transport
BEAM-WAVE RESEARCH, INCORPORATED — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $149,553. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.

Description
The proposed program is for the design of a multiple-beam electron gun and beam transport system suitable for integration with a novel amplifier capable of generating more than 2 kW of output power over a very broad bandwidth. As part of the proposed effort, beam phasespace from gun design will be imported into large signal codes and/or PIC codes to optimize beam-wave interaction. Amplifier size and weight will also be optimized as an integral part of the proposed work. Based on the design study, a mechanical layout of the beamstick will be prepared for evaluation for evaluation by Government personnelat the end of the program .
