ARETE ASSOCIATES — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: R AND D: PASSIVE SENSING FOR DISTRIBUTED RADARS
ARETE ASSOCIATES — 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 $2,019,035, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Sensors & Sensor Fusion. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Arete Associates received about $2 million from the Missile Defense Agency for Phase II SBIR research on passive sensing for distributed radars. The work develops non-emitting sensor technologies to improve radar detection and tracking in defense systems.
