SBIR · Phase: BOTH · Topic OSW27BZ02-DV003 · Solicitation 27.BZ
The Department of War (DoW) seeks to accelerate U.S. leadership in Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), a 5G-Advanced feasibility-study area and a key technology for 3GPP 6G specifications. This project addresses the challenge of adding sensing capabilities to communication networks without degrading the primary communication link across diverse missions and environments, from established bases to remote and contested areas. The goal is to develop innovative, dual-use ISAC prototypes that leverage existing cellular infrastructure including 5G, emerging Open RAN interfaces, and SI-native networking. These solutions should offer a smaller, more cost-effective footprint than separate radar and communication systems. The effort will focus on three pathways: ISAC on fixed infrastructure, ISAC on mobile platforms, and joint SI optimization of radio resources. Success of this project will reduce barriers to market entry, enable new ISAC and SI applications, and strengthen U.S. industrial competitiveness in a field receiving substantial investment from adversaries.
