Research abstract
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a deployable Element Steering Reflect-Array (ESRA) antenna for high power microwave applications. The HPM antenna is based on a rotational phase shift element and is capable of +/-45 degrees of beam steering at speeds of 360 degrees per second, ten times faster than a solid parabolic or dish reflector with equivalent aperture size. The system is lightweight and collapsible for stowage and transportation, as well to help maximize usability of available surfaces on the platform. ESRA is designed to operate at levels of 100 MW or higher with an aperture of 10 m2 and gain of more than 40dBi making it an effective tool in naval counter UAV/USV operations.
