A notice posted Tuesday on the beta SAM website says AFRL’s multispectral sensing and detection division (RYM) plans to award at least two cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts under the MUSTER program and each contract could be worth between $100,000 and $10 million.
AFRL’s RYM division performs advanced technology development, applied and basic research, test and evaluation activities to help the U.S. Air Force meet its aerospace radiofrequency and electro-optical sensor requirements for air, space and command and control sensor systems.
A broad agency announcement is expected to be released in April. AFRL listed 15 research topics under the MUSTER program and these are:
antenna technologies and electromagnetic scattering
RF sensor systems technology
waveform phenomenology, design and applications
ultra-sensitive receivers for signals intelligence
electro-optic and infrared sensor technology
novel EO/IR hardware and algorithms
hyperspectral imaging technology
standoff high resolution imaging
infrared search and track technology
passive EO/IR space-based sensing
laser radar imaging, systems, components and applications
sensor information processing and integration
fully adaptive radar
radar communications co-existence for enabling 5G technologies and beyond
