UAVSAR Global Hawk POLSAR (POLSAR)

The UAVSAR Global Hawk POLSAR project will accomplish its goals but installing radar electronis and one antenna on the bottom of the GH fuselage. This will involve mechanical and electrical integration, reworking thermal accomodation including airducts, and combined initial stemstes test and flight tests over Edwards AFB range. The project will also involve conducting engineering test flights aboard GH and characterize instrument performance.

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
