About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate seeks proposals for advanced research and development across 13 air dominance technology areas through a Broad Agency Announcement with a rolling submission window closing October 30, 2029. The solicitation is unrestricted and accepts white papers on a continuous basis.
The anticipated total cumulative award ceiling is $750 million. Research areas span Modeling, Simulation & Analysis; Innovative Aircraft Integration Technologies; Find Fix Target Track & Datalink Technologies; Engagement Management System Technologies; High Velocity Fuzing; Missile Electronics; Missile Guidance and Control Technologies; Advanced Warhead Technologies; Advanced Missile Propulsion Technologies; Control Actuation Systems; Missile Carriage and Release Technologies; Missile Test and Evaluation Technologies; and Artificial Intelligence/Autonomy. The NAICS code is 541715, Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), and the PSC is AC11, National Defense R&D Services.
The BAA operates on a two-step process: white papers of up to 5 pages are submitted first for evaluation at afrl.rwk.baaworkflow@us.af.mil, with favorably evaluated submitters invited to provide full proposals. Small businesses are encouraged; the small business size standard is 1,000 employees. Research targets applied research (6.2), advanced technology development (6.3), and advanced component development and prototypes (6.4), with technology readiness level advancement from 3 to 6.
All proposals must comply with Operations Security (OPSEC) procedures, policies, and awareness throughout the contract lifecycle. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and export control regulations apply. Offerors must complete a Security Program Questionnaire addressing physical security, information security, personnel safeguards, cybersecurity measures, insider threat mitigation, and incident response.
