On behalf of AFLCMC/EB Divisions, SOCOM Det-1, Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), and the Air Force Nuclear Warfare Center (AFNWC), the Armament Directorate  (AFLCMC/EB) is seeking information from sources that may possess the ability to rapidly develop technologies of novel weapons capabilities, apply unique solutions, innovative ideas, characterization of new technologies, system concepts providing evolutionary, revolutionary, and disruptive capabilities to weapons systems requirements, studies and demonstrations for the United States Air Force.  Note:  References to “weapons” should be ready broadly to apply to projects pertinent to the Air Force PEO for Weapons and Team Eglin, which may expand beyond traditional armament to areas such as test and training systems.

Information is sought to broaden the knowledge base of potential rapid response capabilities available as they apply to all areas and phases of weapons development to include weapons concepts, concept development, and concept demonstrations and weapons system procurement to quickly meet current and future weapons system requirements.
