Low Cost High Performance A Size Sonobuoy Power Amplifier

The Phase I base program will focus on design, simulation, and benchtop validation testing of the proposed DDA architecture.  This will include investigations into both high-density DC-DC and ML amplifier designs leading to Phase I testing and demonstration of the prototype DDA system. The Phase I Option will focus on improving the TRL of hardware prototypes and updating the designs to optimize overall performance. Additional efforts will include the development of a preliminary technical data package including electrical and mechanical designs for future unit fabrication. The Phase I program will exit with a baseline design and benchtop test results of a next generation AN/SSQ-125 relevant power conversion solution ready for finalization and LRIP manufacture in Phase II.
