ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: AF221-DCSO1
ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY INC — 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.
- Obligated amount $784,845 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.

Description
Switches and routers, which are often combined into a single, physical device to reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP), are the technology that underpins all modern tactical communications. The Air Force needs rugged switch/router devices that can withstand the extreme environmental demands of military aircraft and that meet Department of Defense (DoD) information assurance (IA) requirements. Architecture Technology Corporation (ATCorp) has developed the CRR-1000 as a firmware load for the OnTime Networks CR-6200-series of flight-qualified switch/router hardware. The resultant switch/router meets or exceeds all Air Force requirements for interoperability with legacy internet-protocol (IP) equipment and it provides radio-aware routing optimizations for both legacy and next-generation radios/waveforms including 4G/5G/LTE, A3M, ANW2, BGAN, CDL, MPU5/Wave Relay, ROVER, SATCOM, StreamCaster, TSM-X, WiFi, and more. In addition to meeting or exceeding temp/vibe/shock/altitude/electrical requirements of military aircraft, the CR-6200/CRR-1000 switch/router meets or exceeds DoD IA requirements. This proposal outlines further R&D to extend the CRR-1000 router to meet the next-generation requirements of advanced routing for a range of Air Force aircraft.
