Cleared Opportunities
Raytheon, a business under RTX, has secured a $15 million, four-year contract from DARPA to enhance the electronic capability of radio frequency sensors using high-power-density Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors. The improved transistors aim to achieve 16 times higher output power than traditional GaN without an increase in operating temperature. As a leading manufacturer of military-grade GaN, Raytheon’s advancements in semiconductor technology, supported by partners like the Naval Research Laboratory and Stanford University, promise enhanced range and radar resource management for radar systems. The project falls under DARPA’s THREADS program, focusing on Technologies for Heat Removal in Electronics at the Device Scale.
