About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Army Project Manager Electronic Warfare & Cyber (PM EW&C) seeking information from vendors on sensor(s) and/or effector(s) solutions designed to support coordinated electronic warfare (EW) efforts on the battlefield. The RFI requests information on the sensor/effector capabilities, signal processing, transport optimization, obfuscation, software/hardware architecture, and adaptability for control and reprogramming. Vendors are asked to respond to specific questions by September 10, 2024, with responses limited to 20 pages. The Government may use this RFI to grant Title 10 USC 4023 experimentation agreements and award prototyping other transaction agreements (OTAs) or follow-on production contracts based on the evaluation of the responses and subsequent demonstrations. Classified responses up to the SECRET level are also accepted.

Sheet1
| Question | Answers | |
| Is email acceptable for unclassified RFI responses (rather than postal mail)? | No. | |
| Is secure file transfer via SAFE, coordinated in advance with SSW contracts staff, acceptable for unclassified RFI responses (rather than postal mail)? | No. | |
| If a vendor offers two distinct capabilities, are two 20 page responses acceptable? | No. | |
| Are there specific performance requirements, and desired effects by SOI the government is trying to address? Is there a specific Security Class Guide to be used to assess Secret Collateral aplicability. | The Government will not provide specific performance requirements or a security classification guide. | |
| Does the government see value in the ability to integrate with current EW systems or EWPMT? | Yes. | |
| What level of obfuscation is desired? Is obfuscation used in context of Anti-Tamper and protecting hardware and software in the event of a loss? Or is obfuscation used in context of generating a false hardware, software, or RF signature in the event of loss or monitoring of the system. | Question 5. What obfuscation capabilities exists in the sensor(s) and/or effector(s) to mask inherent signal processing capabilities? | |
| Will competitive down selection criteria be published? | Potential follow-on activities. The Government may use this RFI as a means of competition to grant one or more Title 10 USC 4023 experimentation agreements. | |
| Will demonstrations be considered/expected as part of RFI or RFP responses or will demonstrations be an early contract event upon downselection and contract award. Will the government publish a notional schedule for the upcoming demonstrations? | ||
| These agreements will provide an opportunity for Vendors to demonstrate their software and potentially sell items for testing and evaluation purposes. | ||
| Is there an unclassified email to submit responses to rather than mail? | Vendors shall submit responses via mail to: |
• U.S. Army, PM EW&C, ATTN: SFAE-IEW-EW, Security Office, 6631 Cyber Street, Bldg. 5100, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005
| Is there a priority list of desired SOI's to be effected? (comms vs non-comms vs c-pnt vs c-nav vs c-uas). Does the government wish to limit the solution space to be Secret Collateral capability only or can TS SCI technology and capabilities be leveraged? Is there a specific Security Class Guide to be used? | Collateral Effects |
| It is expected that some effects and countermeasures will contain CPI. If CPI and/or HPG content is part of the solution will Anti Tamper requirements be imposed. Will the presence of CPI or HPG capabilities preclude the consideration of an effect or countermeasure? | Security Considerations |
| Would the Government consider providing an electronic means of submission for non-classified responses (SAFE upload or emailed)? Or would the Government consider a hand delivery? | No. |
| Respectfully request an extension for the response and question submission deadlines. This additional time will allow us to provide a more thorough response that fully addresses the objectives of the RFI. | Extension granted until October 2024. |
| Can industry please be allowed to submit our Unclassified RFI responses via email directly to the Army instead of mailing them in?? It would allow industry more time to provide solid responses to the questions asked in the RFIs. | No. |
