Description

PROPOSERS' DAY CONFERENCE

DARPA will host a Proposers' Day Workshop in support of the BAA 09-65, Precision Electronic Warfare (PREW) program on September 9, 2009 at System Planning Corporation (SPC), 3601 Wilson Blvd, Suite 300, Arlington, Virginia 22201 from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The purpose of this conference is to provide information on the PREW program; promote additional discussion on this topic; address questions from potential proposers; and provide a forum for potential proposers to present their capabilities for teaming opportunities.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE AND DESCRIPTION: The goal of the Precision Electronic Warfare (PREW) program is to demonstrate technologies and a prototype system that will enable the fielding of an ad hoc sparse array consisting of multiple airborne and/or ground nodes that can perform surgical jamming. The operational PREW system effect will be to place the desired energy on the specific target area while not affecting the non-target area. The system should be designed for multi-scenario, multi-platform capability and capable of deployment on airborne platforms or advantaged ground locations. Key technology challenges include oscillator synchronization, accurate pointing, and energy control. Key system objective is to degrade the quality of service of the intended target, while minimizing the quality of service impact to collateral devices.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION: Participants must register NLT September 2, 2009. Please register by emailing DARPA-BAA-09-65@DARPA.mil. Directions to the facility and other materials will be sent upon request. There is no registration fee for attending this conference.
