Defining themselves as an innovative antenna Company using metamaterials developing tech for boosting the communications capabilities of drones, Notch has been a very effective participant - and beneficiary - of various recent Air Force small business related initiatives to make effective and speedy drawdown on small business talent and expertise. In that context the firm is also developing tech for boosting the communications capabilities of drones and guarding against attempts to jam their radio-frequency signals. The firm is described as developing metamaterial solutions that enable antennas to be electronically controlled for beamforming and boosting communication ranges while simultaneously providing cyber-security protection. In a not common situation, with Phases I and II of one of the firm's AF (special) award which went to Phase II, DOD Special Systems Command picked up the project for an additional round of funding ($1,367,499)
