Leidos has secured a potential one-year, $7.9 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to conduct research and develop a spectrum sharing platform for use between communications systems and radars.
Reston, Va.-based Leidos will carry out research work under the second phase of DARPA’s Shared Spectrum Access for Radar and Communications initiative, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
DARPA’s SSPARC program aims to address frequency spectrum congestion through shared spectrum systems that operate under the S-band radar with a frequency of ranges between 2 and 4 gigahertz.
The company will perform work through August 2016 in Virginia, Maryland, New York and Washington under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract.
DARPA will obligate $5,352,607 at the time of award from fiscal 2015 research and development funds.
