About this file
This document is a Statement of Objectives (SOO) for the Combay Refueling & Operations Networked Universal System (CRONUS) Autonomous Air-to-Air Refueling Boom Automation, classified as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and dated 17 July 2025. The SOO is restricted to qualified U.S. contractors who must obtain a certified DD Form 2345 and contact either Program Manager Madeline Carpenter or Contracting Officer Luke Johnston to receive the full document via the DoD Safe Website.
The associated federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number FA2385-25-S-9761) focuses on developing advanced boom automation technologies for aerial refueling, with the primary objective of enabling future uncrewed tanker operations. Key technical goals include developing autonomous control technologies, creating models to determine refueling proceed/stop conditions, extending system reliability to eliminate operator monitoring, and demonstrating full boom automation capabilities in GPS-denied environments. The acquisition approach aims to prevent vendor lock-in by requiring open architecture and interface standards, with work specifically aligned with the ReACT MAA (Manned-Unmanned Teaming) program under the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory.
