MSDEW ARA will develop sensors and systems supplies to meet the need for the national defense for improved joint lethality in contested environments, the ability to strike diverse targets inside adversary air and missile defense networks, and support a force which can deploy, survive, operate, maneuver, and regenerate in all domains while under attack. The program advances the Air Force EW (signal) capabilities to me...
View moreUPDATED November 2024: This solicitation update removes all references to Call 01 as that call is closed; extends the close date for the ARA for two years until 13 Jul 2027; adds the Security Risk Review - AFRLI 61-113 and appendices; and updates the primary and second points of contact (POCs).
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson AFB, OH, is seeking to develop sensors and systems through solicitation FA8650-20-S-1119. This research and development program aims to improve joint lethality in contested environments and support forces operating under attack within adversary air and missile defense networks. The scope includes the acquisition of aeronautical supplies, parts, accessories, and designs for experimental purposes to advance Air Force electronic warfare signal capabilities. These objectives are achieved through modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A), experimentation, and the testing of multi-spectrum threat warning and countermeasures technologies.
This requirement is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AC33 for NATIONAL DEFENSE R&D SERVICES; DEFENSE-RELATED ACTIVITIES; EXPERIMENTAL DEVELOPMENT. The Advanced Research Announcement remains open for calls through a response deadline of July 13, 2027. Documentation associated with the notice includes eight total attachments, such as updated solicitation announcements from April 2026 and April 2025, as well as Security Risk Review appendices and profiles posted in November 2024.
Recent administrative updates have transitioned the solicitation to reference Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO/R-DFARS) standards and removed announcement-level model contracts in favor of contracts issued at the specific call level. The primary point of contact for this effort is Katie Skaleski. The performance of these research activities supports the national defense need for a force capable of deploying, surviving, and regenerating across all domains.
