JCO Demo 6 RFWP W50RAJ24R0009.pdf

Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Office (JCO) Request for Whitepapers (RFWP) for Detect, Track, Identify, and/or Defeat for Short Range Defeat Within a Contested Electromagnetic Environment

INTRODUCTION: This Project Announcement (PA) occurs in five phases. The Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Office (JCO) is seeking whitepapers from industry for our next demonstration, planned to occur in or around the end of Q2FY25. The purpose of this RFWP is to identify potential materiel solutions that have promising technologies or approaches to meet the needs identified below.

The JCO seeks to understand industry’s C-sUAS capabilities that can operate in a contested electromagnetic environment. The JCO intends to focus the FY25 Demonstration 6 within two topic areas:

1. Group 3 short range defeat: Systems used to detect, track, identify, and defeat (DTID) Group 3 UAS within 2km slant range from the C-sUAS platform. The JCO is specifically interested in small arms munitions at or below 40mm and kinetic interceptor effectors.

2. Groups 1 and 2 dismounted DTID: Systems used by dismounted forces to detect, track, identify, and/or defeat Group 1-2 UAS. This includes handheld weapons, personal weapon affixable systems such as enhanced optics and warfighter wearable systems.

The C-sUAS capabilities that meet the description above must be able to successfully operate in a contested electromagnetic environment within the frequency ranges of 30 MHz – 20,000 MHz.

Contested electromagnetic environment is defined as an operating environment where the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is experiencing interference or adversary effects across the spectrum, to include active jamming.

Successful operation within a contested electromagnetic environment means that the C-sUAS platform must be able to detect, track, identify, and defeat for Group 3 short range defeat, or the C-sUAS platform must be able to detect, track, identify, and/or defeat Group 1-2 UAS. The sensor systems must effectively operate while being actively interfered with or targeted by adversary jamming systems or experiencing other electromagnetic interference. The sensor systems must then accurately cue effector systems that are impacted by the contested electromagnetic environment. Finally, the effector systems then must effectively defeat threat UAS within this contested environment. Defeating includes destroying, denying, or significantly degrading the threat UAS.

Methods to enable system resiliency and successful operation within a contested electromagnetic environment may include but are not limited to the following:

incorporating low probability of detect (LPD), low probability of intercept (LPI), adaptive beamforming, frequency hop, and other means to maneuver across the EMS. The C-sUAS platforms must have the ability to understand they are being impacted within the EMS and autonomously maneuver elsewhere within the EMS or enact other resiliency measures to enable functionality, continued operation, and successful mission performance.

Following Government evaluation of the whitepaper submissions, the Offerors that propose the most advantageous solution(s) may be asked to provide a virtual oral presentation. Following the oral presentations, selected Offerors will host the Government at their facility as they conduct an on-site analysis of the offeror’s ability to satisfy the production demands required to participate in the demonstration. Finally, Offerors may then be asked to participate in JCO’s contested electromagnetic environment demonstration, tentatively scheduled for March 2025 based on range availability. Upon completion of the demonstration, the government may award one or more prototype projects. Prototype system(s) will be operationally field tested within an operational assessment to inform capabilities and limitations for potential 10 USC 4022 Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) or may inform follow-on contract decisions.

Vendors should only submit a White Paper for consideration if their system will be capable to demonstrate and delivered to the demonstration site by 01 March 2025.

OVERVIEW: The government seeks Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6+ solutions for the purpose of Detect, Track, Identify, and/or Defeat (DTID) of sUAS threats within a contested electromagnetic environment. In accordance with the definition of TRL 6, the government expects white paper respondents to be able to demonstrate a full system – or sub-systems of the DTID capabilities – prototype in a live-fire environment not later than 01 March 2025. The overarching Government objective is to prototype near production representative, cost-effective DTID system(s) that can integrate with Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) systems.

This is a competitive solicitation seeking innovative solutions that accelerate attainment of critical technologies which include commercially available technologies driven by commercial or strategic investment. Both large and small businesses and academic institutions are encouraged to respond. The information provided may be used by the Department of Defense (DoD) in developing its acquisition strategy, statement of work / performance work statement, and/or statement of objectives. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted, or competition sensitive information contained in their respective responses. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any cost associated with the submission of the white paper or information being requested. The Government may choose to reimburse demonstration participants according to the established prize competition plan outlined in the Phase 3 (Demonstration) section below.

BACKGROUND: The fiscal year 2021 NDAA Conference Report required the Executive Agent (JCO) to prioritize the objective of developing and executing a plan to develop, test, and begin production of C-sUAS to meet immediate operational needs in countering Groups 1, 2, and 3 UAS and, to the extent practical, has the potential to counter other, larger unmanned aircraft systems. Additionally, previous Joint Urgent Operational Needs and Joint Emergent Operational Needs have described a pressing need to enhance military C-UAS capabilities. This demonstration result may be used to inform security cooperation cases and to support the US Government providing C-sUAS capability to allies and partners. For this reason, the ability to obtain technology release and build in exportability features, to include anti-tamper, is necessary to support potential follow-on activities and preferably in initial awards. The Government may award at least one, and perhaps multiple prototype awards from this competitive demonstration. Such award(s) may further demonstrate, test, and evaluate the technology. Depending on U.S. Government, ally, or partner needs, said award(s) may also allow for limited additional development prior to further demonstration, testing, and evaluation. Also, a follow-on production award(s) may be awarded to the vendor(s) for this effort if the systems demonstrated are deemed operationally effective and suitable based on the successful completion of the relevant prototype project(s). Those awards may include directed or sole source awards.

The Government currently anticipates that any USG efforts would be 10 USC 4022 prototype OTAs with the possibility for 10 USC 4022(f) follow-on production awards/transactions. However, the Government may also use Title 10 and /or Title 22 authorities to award contracts for foreign allies and partners.

If initiated, awards to support foreign allies and partners may also lead to follow-on production without further competition.

Individual or closely related solutions may qualify for both USG and allies/partners awards, depending on mission requirements and funding availability.

Competition Process, Content Submission Requirements, and Evaluation Criteria: This is a five-phase process that begins when the JCO RFWP is published to SAM.gov and continues through phase five which is OTA award. The JCO reserves the right to not progress through all five phases of the process and may not award an OTA contract following the demonstration if it is deemed unfavorable for the Government to pursue.

PHASE 1 (Whitepapers): The whitepapers (WPs) will be reviewed by technical subject matter experts and evaluated on C-sUAS capabilities, relevance, and the ability to achieve the objectives outlined herein by the demonstration execution date (01 March 2025). The Government reserves the right to use external market research in the evaluation. Offerors may address each topic area as a separate WP. If an offeror wants to submit a response for both topic areas, they should do so on separate WPs. Each WP should address only one solution.

Entry Criteria: There are two entry criteria to participate in the demonstration before the JCO begins evaluating each white paper according to the evaluation criteria listed below. The JCO will only evaluate WPs that meet these two entry criteria.

Technical Maturity / Evidence of TRL 6+ by 01 March 2025

Ability to Participate in Demo 6 Dates

Evaluation Criteria: WPs submitted in response to this RFWP will be evaluated to determine the capabilities of greatest interest to the DoD using the Evaluation Criteria (EC) listed below, in descending order of importance:

Capabilities to detect, track, identify, and defeat for Group 3 short range defeat, or the C-sUAS platform must be able to detect, track, identify, and/or defeat Group 1-2 UAS in accordance with the focus area requirements described in the introduction paragraph above.

Ability to operate within a contested electromagnetic environment in accordance with the focus area requirements described in the introduction paragraph above.

Exportability to partner nations. The JCO will communicate the partner nation of primary interest to each vendor prior to moving forward to Phase 2 which is oral presentations. Any vendor selected to proceed to oral presentations will be informed via SIPR email of the partner nation of primary interest.

Phases 2-5 of this competition are by invitation only. The Government intends to select up to 20 solutions from which to further discuss their proposed concept and technology in Phase 2, depending on the merit of the WPs and mission, budget and schedule constraints. The Government may opt to request different numbers of oral presentations for each topic area. During Phase 2, the Government may request and / or provide additional information to the Company.

If your company's proposed approach has been proposed to or previously funded by any federal agency, please identify each specific agency and all applicable contract/agreement numbers.

Indicate your company’s ability to receive classified information at the SECRET level and affirm if your company has employees with SECRET level clearance.

*Non-traditional defense contractor is defined in 10 U.S.C. 3014 as an entity that is not currently performing and has not performed, for at least the one-year period preceding this RFWP, any contract or subcontract for the Department of Defense that is subject to full coverage under the cost accounting standards prescribed pursuant to section 1502 of title 41 and the regulations implementing such section.

There is no limit on the number of white papers that interested companies may submit in response to this announcement.

The deadline for white paper responses to this RFWP is no later than 12:00 EST on 25 October 2024, via email to the contracting office points of contact Jolynda Ivy at jolynda.v.ivy.civ@army.mil, Tessa Jones at tessa.a.jones.civ@army.mil, and Simone Brightmon at simone.l.brightmon.civ@army.mil. All email submissions shall have the subject line "Whitepapers for JCO Demo 6." Only UNCLASSIFIED white papers will be accepted. Offerors may submit questions via email to Jolynda Ivy, Tessa Jones, and Simone Brightmon. All questions regarding this RFWP shall be submitted via email no later than 1600 EST on 4 October 2024 to all of the points of contact listed. It is preferred that only one set of questions be submitted by each Offeror instead of submitting multiple sets of questions. Questions received by the Government after 1600 EST on 4 October 2024 may not be answered prior to the closing date/time for receipt of white paper submissions. Questions submitted by any method other than email will not be accepted or answered. Attendance at the Industry Day (9 October 2024) is highly recommended to address questions and focus responses (please see information at the end of this announcement). The Government does not intend to publish any additional questions or comments received as a result of this announcement. Inquiries outside of the JCO Industry Day regarding this solicitation will not be accepted.

PHASE 2 (Oral Presentations): If selected for Phase 2, companies will then have an opportunity to present their solution to the JCO's subject matter expert panel, consisting of representation across the JCO and Joint C-sUAS Community of Interest (COI).

Individual presentations will be an opportunity for the offerors to expound upon their proposed solutions as well as an opportunity for the Government to ask clarifying questions. Upon completion of all vendor oral presentations, the Government will notify companies if they have been selected to demonstrate their product; or if their proposed concept / technology / solution is not selected.

Selection for oral presentations is not required to advance to demonstration. For instance, the Government, in its sole discretion, may decline to conduct any oral presentations, or may determine they have sufficient information as it relates to specific WPs and solutions to advance that vendor’s solution to the demonstration. Further, the Government may elect to conduct all or some Phase 2 interactions through written questions and answers.

PHASE 3 (Demonstration): Within budget constraints, the selected companies who appear to offer the best technical solutions and meet the evaluation criteria will be invited to provide a demonstration of their selected product. The JCO may, but is not obligated to, prioritize demonstrating solutions that utilize a range of different approaches to the problem set, as opposed to selecting multiple similar solutions with higher similar technical ratings. Range personnel will operate the target and demonstration environment, while companies operate their own equipment. Selected companies will be responsible for all costs associated with bringing their system to the JCO selected demonstration range. The Government will not be liable for any damages caused during the demonstration, including but not limited to death, bodily injury, and property damage. Selected companies are responsible for submitting all safety related range approvals, including DD1494 / JF12 documentation. Any additional range required documentation will be communicated to the vendors selected to participate in the demonstration during Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs) that occur after vendor down-select until demonstration execution begins.

Demonstration Prize Competition The JCO intends to host two 10 USC 4025 prize competitions: one for each topic area.

The current intent is to reward participating vendors with monetary prizes based off their demonstration performance. The JCO will identify superior performing systems based off criteria defined below to determine recipients of the reward. The JCO will use a numerical scoring system which establishes a maximum number of points per each evaluation criteria. Solutions that address topic 1 will be evaluated in a separate competition from solutions that address topic 2 and will not compete for the same prize pool. The two competitions have separate prize pools. The JCO intends to reward a first and second place for both topics. The solution that scores highest is first place and the second highest score is second place, for each topic, with an expected total of four solutions receiving a reward. The JCO reserves the right to reduce the number of winners per competition to one (1) each if the number of vendors participating in the demonstration, or the number of successful demonstrations is lower than expected. In this case the JCO may increase the prize pool for the winner per each competition, pending availability of funds; but the prize pool increase is not guaranteed.

Prize Competition Reward Evaluation Criteria (EC): the JCO will evaluate vendor solutions using the JCO Test Standards and Procedures for C-sUAS. This document outlines evaluation criteria for measuring C-sUAS solution success during test and evaluation.

Competition 1 (Topic 1): Group 3 short range defeat: Systems used to detect, track, identify, and defeat (DTID) Group 3 UAS within 2km slant range from the C-sUAS platform. The JCO is specifically interested in small arms munitions at or below 40mm and kinetic interceptor effectors.

Criterion 1: C-sUAS System must be able to detect and track Group 3 UAS.

Criterion 2: C-sUAS System must be able to classify and evaluate Group 3 UAS.

Criterion 3: C-sUAS System must be able to defeat or deny Group 3 sUAS.

Criterion 4: Capability of the C-sUAS to operate in a denied space environment

(contested electromagnetic environment).

Competition 2 (Topic 2): Groups 1 and 2 dismounted DTID: Systems used by dismounted forces to detect, track, identify, and/or defeat Group 1-2 UAS. This includes handheld weapons, personal weapon affixable systems such as enhanced optics and warfighter wearable systems.

Criterion 1: C-sUAS System must be able to detect and track Group 1-2 UAS.

Criterion 2: C-sUAS System must be able to classify and evaluate Group 1-2

UAS.

Criterion 3: C-sUAS System must be able to defeat or deny Group 1-2 sUAS.

o Only applicable for DTID systems. Scoring of solution performance will be normalized as a percentage to enable comparing DTI solutions against DTID solutions to determine competitive ranking to receive the competition prize.

Criterion 4: Capability of the C-sUAS to operate in a denied space environment (contested electromagnetic environment).

o If the proposed solution does not have the capacity to be affected by a contested electromagnetic environment, such as electronic warfare adversarial effects, then the solution will not be evaluated against this criterion. Scoring of solution performance will be normalized as a percentage to enable comparing solutions that are impacted by a contested electromagnetic environment against solutions that are not to determine competitive ranking to receive the competition prize.

Prize Competition Structure:

Topic 1: Group 3 Short Range

DTID

Topic 2: Groups 1&2 Dismounted DTI and/or D

1st Place

$750,000 $750,000

2nd Place

$250,000 $250,000

Vendors will be informed if their solution performed well enough to receive the competition prize after the JCO completes data analysis and publishes the final demonstration report. The data analysis and final demonstration report is expected to be complete between 60 to 75 days following completion of demonstration execution.

All companies who are selected and participate in the demonstration shall, NLT 15 business days following the completion of executing your system’s demonstration, submit an updated cost estimate from what was originally submitted with your whitepaper (PHASE 1, para. g.) above. Provide rationale for any changes since the original whitepaper cost estimate submission.

Following the demonstration data analysis and final report publishing, the Government will notify companies if they have been selected for possible prototype award and request the submission of a full proposal.

PHASE 4 (Prototype Proposal): Full proposals are by invitation only. Those companies whose whitepaper, oral presentation, and demonstration are assessed to be of merit and are selected for potential award may, subject to the availability of funding, be invited to submit a full written proposal and negotiate appropriate terms & conditions governing a prototype OTA.

PHASE 5 (OTA Award): Upon favorable evaluation, negotiation and available funds, the Government may choose to make an award or multiple awards. Awards will be made to the companies whose offer is determined to provide the overall best value to the Government based on the criteria, mission sets and availability of funds. This may not be the proposal offering the lowest cost or receiving the highest evaluated rating.

The JCO may, but is not obligated to, prioritize awarding projects for solutions that utilize a range of different approaches to the problem set, as opposed to selecting multiple similar solutions with higher technical ratings. Awards will be made using OTAs. The Agreements Officer will negotiate directly with the company on the terms and conditions of the OTA, including payments, and will execute the OTA on behalf of the Government. Receipt of a Request for Prototype Proposal (RFPP) does not guarantee a company will receive an award and the Government reserves the right, at any point prior to award of an OTA, to cancel the RFPP. Please be advised, only an Agreements Officer has the authority to enter into, or modify, a binding agreement on behalf of the Government.

Follow-on Production: Upon successful completion of a prototype project, the Government and Company may negotiate a follow-on production agreement, without the need for further competition. Any concept / technology / solution successfully proven through the prototype award may be transitioned to production.

A transaction for a prototype project is complete upon the written determination of the appropriate approving official for the matter in question that efforts conducted under a prototype award: (1) met the key technical goals of a project; (2) satisfied success metrics incorporated into the prototype award; or (3) accomplished a particularly favorable or unexpected result that justifies the transition to production. Furthermore, successful completion can occur prior to the conclusion of a prototype project to allow the Government to transition any aspect of the prototype project determined to provide utility into production while other aspects of the prototype project have yet to be completed. Any prototype award will contain a provision that sets forth the conditions under which that prototype agreement must be successfully completed.

Non-Government Advisors: Non-Government advisors may be used in the evaluation of whitepapers and will have signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with the Government. The Government understands that information provided in response to this solicitation is presented in confidence and may contain trade secret, commercial, or financial information, and it agrees to protect such information from unauthorized disclosure to the maximum extent permitted or required by Law, to include:

a. 18 USC 1905 (Trade Secrets Act)

c. 5 USC 552(b)(4) (Freedom of Information Act)

d. Executive Order 12600 (Pre-disclosure Notification Procedures for Confidential Commercial Information); and

e. Any other statute, regulation, or requirement applicable to Government employees.

DISCLAIMER: Participation in this solicitation is not a prerequisite for participating in any future solicitations or procurements. Nothing in this solicitation is a guarantee of future partnerships, contract commitment, or future workload. This announcement is not a contract, a promise to contract, or a commitment of any kind on the part of the Government.

The Government reserves the right to select all, some, or none of the whitepapers or presentations in response to this solicitation. The costs of preparing and submitting whitepapers, oral presentations, and participating in the demonstration are not considered an allowable direct charge to any contract or agreement. The Government will not assume liability for costs incurred by an attendee for marketing efforts; therefore, cost in response to this notice is not considered an allowable direct charge to the Government.

The Government will also not be liable for any damages caused during the demonstrations, including but not limited to death, bodily injury, and property damage.
