About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gain market information on airborne-capable antennas operating in the 44 GHz Band (Uplink) and 20 GHz Band (Downlink) for potential installation on widebody-type combat aircraft. The USAF is interested in 44/20 GHz capable antennas that require minimal structural modifications, meet specific requirements such as antenna/radome height preference of less than 10 inches, frequency range in the 44/20 GHz band, antenna hardening to High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP), and antenna weight less than 125 lbs. Interested companies are requested to provide information on their 44/20 GHz products, including estimated Technology Readiness Level, Manufacturing Readiness Level, test performance results, qualification test outcomes, and details on the antenna mounting process.
This is not a request for proposal, and the USAF is seeking information for market research purposes only. There is no set-aside designation, and the USAF projects a need for at least 127 production antennas, with the first being ready as early as 1QFY27 and delivery of up to three antennas per month. The USAF is interested in existing survivable Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) or Government-off-the-Shelf (GOTS) solutions, as well as the companies' manufacturing and fielding capabilities.
