AFWERX has chosen MatrixSpace for a $1.25 million Direct-to-Phase II SBIR to create a prototype low SWaP-C multi-band, multi-function antenna payload that is built on the MatrixSpace Radar hardware platform.
The project is a new endeavour to build and test low SWAP payloads based on current MatrixSpace technology for uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). It was created to meet objectives for the Replicator program and address the most critical issues facing the Department of the Air Force (DAF). The project begins right away and lasts for 21 months.
In spite of the illumination and weather, MatrixSpace Radar provides strong situational awareness of both airborne and ground-based objects. It was designed and developed in the United States. This makes it easier to detect drones with extreme accuracy and to use the Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) and Beyond Visual Line capabilities of Sight (BVLOS) flight for uncrewed, autonomous and tethered aircraft, and overall general airspace awareness and security.
Matthew Kling, Vice President of Intelligent Systems at MatrixSpace, It gives us great honor to support the American military’s national defence by offering cutting-edge military capabilities based on our fundamental MatrixSpace technology. We have a great chance to advance the large-scale, all-domain attritable autonomous (ADA2) systems that are envisioned under the Replicator effort thanks to this prize. By offering multi-function, multi-band, agnostic capabilities on-board autonomous vehicles, MatrixSpace will assist in meeting important criteria for future military systems and let our warfighters quickly adapt to any task.
