Request For Information.doc

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory through the Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The RFI, numbered W911QX-26-BA0001, seeks industry partners capable of developing modular, low-cost sensing and effector technologies to detect, classify, track, and disable or destroy multiple unmanned aerial system (UAS)-borne threats in a layered counter-UAS system-of-systems architecture. The sensing solutions must be capable of detecting and tracking Group 1 to Group 3 UAS threats, with solutions expected to be mature and suitable for immediate integration into remotely emplaced systems. The RFI applies to Class Codes 1095 and 5963 (Effectors and Electronic Modules) under NAICS Code 541715, with no set-aside designation. Interested parties must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within 30 days from the posting date. This RFI does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, but any responsible source responding may be considered by the Government, with the final determination to compete the requirement remaining solely at the Government's discretion.
