- Description
- FedBizOpps announcement of intent to issue BAA for the Integrated System is Structure (ISIS) Program. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) intends to issues a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the development of a radar sensor that is highly integrated with a high altitude airship platform. The system will operate unattended at an altitude of 70,000 feet, track airborne targets to the radar horizon and ground based targets (including dismount troops) halfway to the horizon. The major challenges to be addressed are reducing the sensor, power system, and airship structural mass. These challenges will not be met by developing an airship with a conventional sensor payload bay. Meeting the sensor performance goals within mass limitations requires that the airship and sensor be an integrated unit. It is anticipated that an extremely low power density active electronically scanned array, possibly conformal, will be employed to achieve requisite power-aperture requirements with projected apertures approaching the physical cross-section of the airship. The BAA will be for a one year conceptual design study with options for proof-of-principal demonstrations of critical technologies. Due to the multi-disciplinarily nature of this program, teaming is strongly encouraged. When the BAA is issued, further details will be announced in FedBizOpps. For further information, contact baa03-36@darpa.mil via email or call Dr. Larry Corey at 703-248-1513.
