Signals
A merged, date-sorted feed of three signal types: recent SRI news and publications mentioning a known funder (13 tracked), real federal award data from USASpending.gov ($4.7B across 2,154 contracts and grants since 2007), and recent events at 10 known competitor organizations.
About this feed and the New badge
This is a first-pass snapshot, not a live alert system: nothing here auto-refreshes or pushes notifications yet. Competitor data was seeded once via web search; funder data is re-derived from SRI’s own ingested news and publications whenever those are refreshed. Award rows are ground truth from USASpending.gov, not a news mention.
The New badge (2 below) is deliberately narrow. It marks items from the last 14 days that are also higher-priority (competitor contract awards and program launches, plus all tracked funder mentions), not every recent item in this feed. Routine competitor publications and market signals never get the badge, even if recent.

$4.5M — SPACE-BASED INTERFEROMETRIC SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (INSAR) IS A KEY CHANGE-DETECTION TOOL IN NASAS EARTH SCIENCE DIVISION PORTFOLIO. INSAR ADDRESSES THREE OF THE SEVEN MAJOR THEMES SUMMARIZED BY THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL EARTH SCIENCES DECADAL SURVEY: 1) SOLID-EARTH HAZARDS AND DYNAMICS; 2) HUMAN HEALTH AND SECURITY; AND 3) LAND-USE CHANGE ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS AND BIODIVERSITY. ALL REQUIRE GLOBAL FREQUENT ASSESSMENTS OF SOLID SURFACE DEFORMATION VIA INSAR MEASUREMENTS.FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT INSAR MEASUREMENTS MUST BE PRECISE (SUB-CM LEVEL) AND TIMELY. FREQUENT ACQUISITIONS (SUB-WEEKLY) ARENEEDED TO PROVIDE ENHANCED DEFORMATION PRECISION THROUGH TIME SERIES AVERAGING AND ENSURE THAT AN EVENT IS PROPERLY CAPTURED AND CHARACTERIZED. ORBITAL MECHANICS PREVENT SINGLE-PLATFORM SENSORS FROM SIMULTANEOUSLY ACHIEVING RAPID REVISIT TIMES AND WIDE-AREA COVERAGE. MULTIPLE PLATFORMS ARE NEEDED TO AVOID COMPROMISING COVERAGE BUT TRADITIONAL INSAR SENSORS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE (>$300M) TO REPLICATE.UNDER THE NASA ESTO IIP PROGRAM SRI INTERNATIONAL (SRI) AND OUR TEAM OF COLLABORATORS PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A COMPLETE SAR/INSAR INSTRUMENT FOR CUBESATS. THE INSTRUMENT IS CALLED CIRES-IDD (CUBESAT IMAGING RADAR FOR EARTH SCIENCE INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION). WE WILL LEVERAGE SRIS TRL-5 CIRES RADAR HARDWARE DEVELOPED UNDER NASA ACT FUNDING SRIS TRL 4 IMAGE FORMATION SOFTWARE AND A TRL-3 HIGH-GAIN DEPLOYABLE MEMBRANE ANTENNA TO FORM THE COMPLETE INSTRUMENT.CIRES-IDD IS A THREE-YEAR PROGRAM WITH GROUND AND AIRBORNE UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS (UAS) DEMONSTRATIONS TO RETIRE TECHNOLOGY RISKS AND RAISE THE CIRES-IDD SYSTEM TRL FROM 3 TO 6 IN PREPARATION FOR A FUTURE ORBITAL DEMONSTRATION CAMPAIGN. THE PLANNED IIP PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE IS FROM 9 JANUARY 2017 TO 8 JANUARY 2020. THE FOLLOWING POINTS SUMMARIZE THE MATURATION PLAN FOR EACH TECHNOLOGY PIECE.WE WILL START BY MATURING THE SAR/INSAR IMAGE-PROCESSING SOLUTION. SRI WILL APPLY THEIR EXTENSIVE SET OF SAR ALGORITHMS AND COHERENT REGISTRATION TECHNIQUES TO CIRES-IDD. WE WILL TEST AND DEBUG THE DEVELOPED SOFTWARE ON THE UAS PLATFORM FOLLOWED BY A RIGOROUS CALIBRATION CAMPAIGN. SRI EXPERIENCE WITH ADAPTING THE IMAGE FORMATION TOOLS TO DIFFERENT SYSTEMS (E.G. OPERATIONAL TRL-9 AIRBORNE RADAR SYSTEMS) ENABLES A RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT PATH BASED ON PREVIOUSLY PROVEN TECHNIQUES.OUR ANTENNA PARTNER PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. (PSI) WILL DEVELOP THE HIGH-GAIN DEPLOYABLE MEMBRANE ANTENNA (>36 DBI). PSI WILL ITERATIVELY DEVELOP AND TEST INCREASING SCALES OF ANTENNA TEST ARTICLES FOCUSING ON DEPLOYMENT TENSIONING PACKAGING EFFICIENCY AND RF PERFORMANCE. ANTENNA RISK REDUCTION TESTS WILL INCLUDE MICROGRAVITY DEPLOYMENT AND FOLDING TESTS AMONG OTHERS. WORKING WITH NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER AND THE NASA AIRBORNE SCIENCE PROGRAM WE WILL EXECUTE FOUR UAS FLIGHT CAMPAIGNS TOVALIDATE CIRES-IDD UTILITY AT ALTITUDE. THESE FLIGHTS WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FULL SAR/INSAR PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES (25-M IMAGING RESOLUTION SUB-CM-LEVEL INSAR ACCURACY SNR>13 DB) AND DEMONSTRATE SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE. WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH JET PROPULSION LABORATORY STANFORD UNIVERSITY AND THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TO IDENTIFY LOCAL AREAS OF INTEREST AND ASSIST WITH ANALYZING AND ASSESSING THE UTILITY OF THE DATA FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM UAS TESTING WILL BE USED TO OPTIMIZE THE CIRES-IDD DESIGN FEATURES SUCH AS THERMAL RESILIENCE POWER MANAGEMENT MASS VOLUME AND SENSOR CAPABILITIES THEREBY IMPROVING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING RISKS FOR FUTURE ON-ORBIT OPERATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE PROPOSED PROJECTS ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO PREPARE AND PROVE CIRES-IDD FOR FUTURE ON-ORBIT CUBESAT OPERATIONS THE UAS SAR SYSTEM RESULTING FROM THIS EFFORT WILL BECOME A USEFUL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PLATFORM IN ITS OWN RIGHT A CAPABILITY ALSO VALUED IN THE DECADAL SURVEY.
