ANDRO lands contract to help develop B5G technologies

ROME, N.Y. — ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC announced a contract award from Peraton Labs, Inc. to support Peraton on a Navy initiative for advancing beyond-fifth generation (B5G) wireless-communications technologies for military tactical-edge operations.

Peraton, headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., was awarded the prime contract under the National Security Technology Accelerator’s (NSTXL) Strategic and Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems’ (S2MARTS) contract vehicle with the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division in Indiana to support the S2MARTS B5G initiative.

Under the prime contract, Peraton will develop and demonstrate new capabilities for dynamic spectrum management at the tactical edge to provide spectrum sharing that will allow Department of Defense (DoD) operations to integrate with future 5G networked operations.

ANDRO’s work under Peraton focuses on enhancing the performance of 5G open radio-access networks. ANDRO’s PRISM teams in Rome and Syracuse are led by Principal Investigator Timothy Woods. PRISM is one of ANDRO’s core technologies to advance B5G dynamic spectrum-management solutions in support of multi-access edge computing applications.

Headquartered in Rome, ANDRO provides research, engineering, and technical services to defense and commercial industries in advanced-spectrum exploitation, secure wireless communications, software-based waveform development, cognitive software-defined radio networking, multi-sensor data fusion, and sensor-resource management.
