The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is asking industry for information on technologies small enough for Group 2-3 unmanned aircraft systems, to understand domestic market capabilities and find vendors to collaborate with. It covers radar electronic attack systems that already exist (GOTS/NDI) and commercial building blocks such as RFSoC, fast analog-to-digital converters and edge compute chips. This is a sources sought notice, not a contract award.

Full notice text from SAM.gov

The Air Force Research Laboratory, Tech Transition Office AFRL/RR, in coordination with the Information and Spectrum Warfare Directorate (AFRL/RI), is seeking information from industry to improve USAF understanding of domestic market capabilities and identify qualified vendors to collaborate with. Specifically, AFRL is investigating technologies small enough to be installed on Group 2-3 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) across two core pathways: 1. Integrated GOTS/NDI Systems: Existing Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) or Non- Developmental Item (NDI) radar electronic attack (EA) systems that have been proven or demonstrated for military use. 2. COTS Modular Enablers & Building Blocks: Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware, open software-defined architectures, and high-performance RF components. AFRL is highly interested in innovative commercial building blocks—including Radio Frequency System on Chip (RFSoC) technology, high-speed analog-to-digital converters, and edge compute chips—that can support receive, process, and transmit capabilities in a variety of active and passive military scenarios.
