DARPA extends Array Labs contract for distributed multistatic radar modeling and simulation
49 FOMODARPA extended its existing contract with Array Labs to expand modeling and simulation work on distributed radar architecture. The additional scope examines the operation of coordinated satellite clusters using multistatic radar and formation flying. The program is intended to validate more operating modes and improve understanding of system performance across a broader range of scenarios. The extension adds to Array Labs' portfolio of U.S. government research relationships, which includes defense agencies and military customers.
Why it matters
The extension indicates continuing government interest in distributed radar as a potentially transformative sensing architecture. Further modeling results should help de-risk the transition from research contracts to flight demonstrations and operational systems.

DARPA, Array Labs Extends Contract for Distributed Radar ArchitectureDARPA extended its contract with Array Labs, adding scope to research and model the company's distributed radar architecture. The extension covers high-fidelity modeling and simulation of multistatic radar operations, examining how formation-flying satellites coordinate across a wider range of operating scenarios. The work builds on the existing distributed radar program and supports the development of future generations of the system. Array Labs said the expanded effort would investigate operating modes made possible by multiple satellites functioning as one coordinated radar system.
