Sivers Semiconductors Secures $6.6 Million Extension for U.S. Electronic Warfare Program
Second-year funding under the Microelectronics Commons initiative supports continued development of advanced wideband antenna technologies for defence and dual-use applications.
Sivers Semiconductors AB (STO: SIVE), a global leader in photonics and wireless technologies, announced a second-year extension of its Electronic Warfare (EW STAR) project from the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) Hub under the Microelectronics Commons program.
The Year 2 program award totals $6.6 million, a strong recognition of Sivers' technical results and execution to milestones.
"This second-year extension of the EW STAR program reflects Siver's innovative technology and strong first-year technical progress," said Harish Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Wireless Division at Sivers Semiconductors. "We appreciate the continued support of NEMC and the Microelectronics Commons program, as we advance critical technologies to modernise defence architectures and systems."
The EW STAR program is advancing wideband antenna array technologies that enable simultaneous transmit-and-receive operation for electronic warfare, communications, and radar, with support for dual-use commercial applications.
The program is funded through the Microelectronics Commons program, established by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division, and awarded via the NEMC Hub, with Sivers Semiconductors collaborating alongside BAE Systems, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and Columbia University.
