BEamspace Analog processing for Multi-functional Enhanced RF Systems (BEAMERS)

Description: DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office is soliciting classified proposals to develop and demonstrate BEAMERS, a scalable, receive-only electromagnetic-support receiver providing continuous spectral and spatial coverage across a wide frequency span without scanning. The program seeks an integrated architecture using beamspace processing, channelization, detection, selective coherent waveform capture, and a digital test backend, with phased demonstrations from one-dimensional receive chains to an integrated two-dimensional prototype. Selected proposals may result in prototype Other Transaction Agreements, and full proposals are due January 8, 2027.
