Ultra Wide Bandwidth High Dynamic Range Digital ISR Receivers for the submarine force Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-059 Topic Title: Ultra Wide Bandwidth High Dynamic Range Digital ISR Receivers for the submarine force Proposal No.: N101-059-1483 Firm: GIRD Systems, Inc. 310 Terrace Ave. Cincinnati, Ohio 45220 Contact: James Caffery Phone: (513) 281-2900 Web Site: www.girdsystems.com Abstract: In this effort GIRD Systems proposes to develop an innovative ultra wideband radar EW receiver. The receiver can operate in very dense RF environments, and has the potential of meeting the high POI, large instantaneous RF bandwidth, and high dynamic range requirements. Phase I effort will develop a conceptual design for a hardware and software approach. Benefits: If successful, this SBIR project will provide a solution for difficult signals such as extremely short and extremely long pulse width signals, signals with pulse repetition interval agilities and frequency agilities, etc. Since this solicitation is based on an actual EW/ELINT application of the Navy, the Navy is a primary potential customer. In addition to the Navy, the Air Force, the Army, and other military customers also have a need for EW/ELINT and SIGINT. Commercial applications include the forthcoming cognitive radio market where large bandwidths need to be processed and various kinds of signals with potentially large dynamic ranges detected. Return
