Capability Statement
What we build.
Prime Azimuth LLC is a United States small business working in radio frequency, spectrum sensing, and embedded systems. The company was formed in 2026 and is registered in SAM.gov. We are early by design: design and integration are held in-house, and specialist engineering is subcontracted per project from a network we have worked with directly.
We are candid about stage. Prime Azimuth has no completed federal prime contracts to point to. We are pursuing SBIR and STTR Phase I awards and specialist subcontract work under established primes — the routes where a small, self-funded team is the right instrument rather than a liability.
Focus areas
- Model-Based Systems Engineering
- Carrying requirements, architecture, and verification in a single authoritative model rather than scattered across documents, so interface changes propagate and trace from need to test.
- Multi-Function Sensing
- Sensing payloads that share aperture, front-end, and compute across more than one function, co-resident on platforms with hard size, weight, and power limits.
- Digital Signal Processing
- Real-time processing chains from converter to decision — filtering, channelisation, demodulation, detection — placed where the timing budget requires, whether FPGA fabric, DSP core, or host.
- Signal Detection and Analysis
- Finding and characterising emitters in dense spectrum: wideband survey, feature extraction, and direction-finding technique.
- Resilient Communications
- Waveform and radio work aimed at links that hold up under interference and degraded conditions.
Technical disciplines
The domains we take work in. Design and systems integration are done in-house; depth in each domain is supplied by subcontracted specialists engaged per project.
Wireless Radios
Custom RF front-ends and software-defined radio signal pipelines, from antenna through application layer.
- SDR
- DSP
- GNU Radio
- RFNoC
- mmWave
Mixed-Signal Hardware
Board design from concept through bring-up, including mixed-signal, power, and layout for RF-sensitive designs.
- PCB
- Analog
- Power
- Layout
- Bring-up
Production Software
Long-lived production services and ground software, engineered to be maintained, audited, and relied upon years after delivery.
- Rust
- C++
- Python
- Linux
- gRPC
Current work
Self-funded development, not yet public.
Prime Azimuth is developing its own systems in the focus areas above. That work is self-funded and we are not disclosing it publicly at this stage. Details can be discussed with a qualified customer or teaming partner under a non-disclosure agreement.
What we are looking for
- SBIR and STTR Phase I topics in RF, spectrum sensing, and embedded systems.
- Specialist subcontract scope under an established prime.
- Teaming arrangements where a small, focused supplier is the right fit.
