About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command, Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC Aberdeen Proving Ground) has issued a Special Notice for a Request for Information (RFI) related to the Multi-Domain Sensing System (MDSS) High-Altitude Platform - Deep Sensing (HAP-DS) program. The MDSS is a family of capabilities intended to address Army deep sensing requirements by providing airborne sensors that support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), Large Scale Ground Combat Operations (LSGCO), and fill sensing gaps for Indicators and Warnings, Long-Range Precision Fire targeting, and Situational Understanding.
The purpose of this RFI is to gather information from industry on small form factor sensors that can support the MDSS HELIOS/HAP-DS microHAB platform's size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. Specifically, the government is interested in Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), Communications Intelligence (COMINT), and Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) sensor technologies for microHAB platforms weighing under 15 lbs. Responses are due by August 5, 2024 in the form of an unclassified white paper. This RFI is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract.

1. INTRODUCTION
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. The purpose of this posting is to notify industry of an RFI. The Multi-Domain Sensing System (MDSS) is a family of capabilities intended to address Army deep sensing requirements by providing airborne sensors that support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), including Large Scale Ground Combat Operations (LSGCO), and fill sensing gaps for Indicators and Warnings, Long-Range Precision Fire (LRPF) targeting and Situational Understanding. MDSS requirements focus on six capability areas: Platforms; Sensors; Integrated Intelligence, Fires, Electronic Warfare, Cyber and Mission Command; Processing, Exploitations, and Dissemination (PED); Data Transport; and Cyber and Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Resiliency.
Project Director Sensors-Aerial Intelligence (PD SAI) develops, acquires, fields and supplies life cycle support to modernized, integrated, tactically relevant aerial Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors while leveraging National capabilities, as well as provide for the processing, exploitation and dissemination (PED) of Intelligence products to support the warfighter with actionable intelligence in the right place, right time, and at the best value for our Nation. In other words, the team is responsible for purchasing intelligence sensors (think cameras watching people/things, communications intelligence - listening to things, etc) that go onto aircraft and UAVs to monitor and provide surveillance on areas to protect our soldiers.
2. DISCLAIMER
