Albuquerque, N.M. – (November 13, 2025) Verus® Research, an Albuquerque-based research and development company and wholly owned subsidiary of Alabama-based Radiance Technologies, has been awarded a 4-year, $6 million effort to support the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) via the Naval Surface Technology & Innovation Consortium (NSTIC).
Under this award, Verus Research will implement its novel concept referred to as Adaptive Radio Frequency Chamber and Hardware in the loop for Integrated Missile subsystem Evaluation and assessmentS (ARCHIMES). This endeavor begins with test and data analysis support for the Navy’s DEFEND and METEOR programs and is a follow-on effort to Verus Research’s Airborne High Power Microwave Instrumentation (AirHI) project.
ARCHIMES’s versatile design enables comprehensive radio frequency stress testing applications—including electronic warfare, communications, and high-power microwave directed energy—to evaluate hypersonic tracking, guidance, and communications subsystems for preflight test and evaluation (T&E). This includes full T&E system builds, novel antenna development, sensor development, and integration efforts on airborne hypersonic hardware surrogates.
According to Verus Research Chief Technology Officer Dr. J. Mark DelGrande, “This is our first NSTIC award directly supporting our Navy customer and opens a whole new front in direct collaboration to meeting the Navy’s emerging directed energy test needs.”
