DARPA, Array Labs Extends Contract for Distributed Radar Architecture

DARPA 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.
