RFI_SN-26-33_Attachment_1_20260401.docx

This is an attachment template for responses to DARPA-SN-26-33, a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Tactical Technology Office seeking information on drone capabilities. The attachment serves as a standardized response form for interested parties to provide technical and business information about proposed drone platforms.

Respondents must complete required data fields including company information, business classification details (small business status, nontraditional defense contractor status, facility clearance level, and manufacturing capability), and a comprehensive technical specifications table. The specifications table requires detailed performance metrics such as gross takeoff weight, empty weight, fuel/power-source weight, maximum payload weight, endurance at full fuel and maximum payload, operational ceiling, maximum flight speed, battery specifications (voltage and watts), engine displacement and horsepower (if applicable), maximum continuous payload electrical power, platform dimensions, and unit cost in USD with quantity cost basis. Respondents must also provide information on constellation management software capabilities, including whether the software is commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or custom-developed, the maximum number of drones manageable by the software, path planning and deconfliction functionality, software maturity level, and estimated Technology Readiness Level (TRL). The response requires optional graphic overviews and technical descriptions (1-2 pages for the main description, with an optional second page), and an optional one-page references section. This template does not specify submission deadlines, award information, or pricing terms, as those details would be contained in the primary RFI solicitation document.
