ISOF Rang 2026

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the International Special Operations Forces (ISOF) Range 2026, a technology demonstration event scheduled for April 14-15, 2026, at the Nevada Test and Training Range in Nevada. This special notice invites technology demonstration candidates from private industry, government research and development organizations, academia, and individuals to exhibit innovative lethality technologies. The event will also include a Last Line of Defense (LLOD) rodeo on April 12, 2026, focused on small-unit counter-unmanned aircraft systems (cUAS) testing. The Program Manager - SOF Lethality (PM-SL) will conduct this event in cooperation with the Joint Services Small Arms Program (JSSAP) and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering's Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) Office. Attendees will include over thirty international SOF units, federal law enforcement special units, inter-agency special units, and military combat development offices from all service branches.

The primary purpose of this RFI is to enable hands-on market research of technologies that address lethality gaps and inform future military requirements, with attendees providing written feedback on demonstrated technologies. Technology applications have two submission deadlines: October 30, 2025, for the first tranche targeting 80% range capacity, and January 30, 2026, for the second tranche, with notifications scheduled for November 20, 2025, and February 12, 2026, respectively. Participating technologies must be at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 or higher, except for submissions in the "Other Relevant Disruptive Technologies" category. The demonstration categories include weapons, visual augmentation systems, demolitions/breaching, ammunition, shoulder launched munitions, precision strike systems, and other disruptive technologies. All submission and participation costs are the responsibility of respondents, and this RFI will not result in contract awards based solely on participation in the event.
