About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The RFI is seeking information from industry on their ability to provide, within the next 24-36 months, Signature Managed (SM) Group 3 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) capable of providing Command and Control/Data Relay (C2/DR) services to a sUAS swarm or Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities in a contested environment.

The RFI is also seeking information on low Size, Weight, and Power and Cost (SWAP-C) technologies for C2/DR and EW payloads that can be integrated onto the SM Group 3 sUAS. Responses will inform the government's acquisition strategy, potential RFP development, and future contract actions. The RFI response deadline is January 17, 2025. The government may request additional details from respondents after reviewing the initial submissions.
