The Office of Naval Research has awarded Saab’s U.S. subsidiary a potential four-year, $15.1 million contract to design and demonstrate an all-digital radar technology prototype.
Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, Saab Inc. will aim to present demonstrator performance in a contested maritime environment scenario and define any limitation or X band tradeoff related to system design, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
ONR expects the base period of performance to conclude on Feb. 22, 2024, and the office may extend work by exercising a pair of 12-month options. The U.S. Navy obligated $13.3 million at the time of award from the branch’s fiscal 2021 research, development, test and evaluation funds.
Saab will perform contract work at its facility in East Syracuse, New York, and won the project under ONR’s broad agency announcement, “Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology.”
