ARLIINGTON, Va. -- U.S. military researchers are looking to satellite communications specialist Harris Corp. of Melbourne, Fla., for new ideas on how to design antennas for a future space-based radar system that can track moving targets on the ground.
Harris experts are to study how to build a spaceborne antenna system for the Innovative Space-Based Radar Antenna Technology (ISAT) Study.
Harris is working under terms of a $2.5 million contract, announced Jan. 29, from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Special Projects Office in Arlington, Va., and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Sensors Directorate in Rome, N.Y.
The satellite antenna study at the Harris Government Communications Systems Division (GCSD) in Palm Bay, Fla., ultimately is to help government and industry engineers integrate space based radar (SBR) and a moving target indication from space (MTIS) system.
For more information contact Harris GCSD by phone at 321-727-6963, by fax at 321-727-4500, by e-mail at govt@harris.com, by post at 2400 Palm Bay Road, N.E., Palm Bay, Fla. 32905, or on the World Wide Web at http://www.harris.com/.
