- Description
- Disclaimer This is a Request for Information (RFI) synopsis. This RFI is for planning purposes only. This is NOT a request for Quotations or Proposals. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained in their response. In accordance with FAR 15.202 (e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government will not reimburse costs incurred by Respondent in response to this RFI or for participating in information exchange regarding details of the RFI. Responses may include data that the offeror does not want disclosed to the public for any purpose or used by the Government except for informational purposes. However, please note that the Government and its Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) contractors will review the responses to this RFI. Synopsis The future multi-domain operational environment will present a highly lethal and complex set of traditional and non-traditional targets. These targets will include networked and mobile air defense systems with extended ranges, and long and mid-range fires systems that will deny freedom of maneuver. To gain and maintain overmatch in the future conflict, Army Aviation must modernize and distribute its reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition (RSTA) and lethality with an advanced team of manned and unmanned aircraft as part of the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) ecosystem. The synergistic effect of the ecosystem enables the penetration, dis-integration, and exploitation of an adversary�s Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) comprised of an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) and Integrated Fires Complex (IFC), as well as surveillance and targeting systems, command, control and communications (C3) capabilities, and essential logistical infrastructure. Part of this ecosystem is Air Launched Effects (ALE), a family of small1 and large2 unmanned air launched systems that operate as members of a team with other manned and unmanned platforms to detect, identify, locate, report (DILR) and deliver lethal and non-lethal effects against threats across multiple scenarios and domains in a constantly changing Operational Environment (OE). The Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is currently working on Science and Technology (S&T) planning and development of ALE capability to deliver coordinated and distributed sensing and effects across Electro-Optical (EO), Infrared (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF) spectrums. The overall goal of this RFI is to identify novel and highly capable technologies and enablers that can inform S&T development to better align current and future S&T investment in technology areas of interest for ALE, inform ALE payload and platform requirements, and ultimately identify candidates for current and future ALE mission systems program acquisitions. A Phase I of this RFI originated in August 2020 culminating in a Virtual Industry Day was held in Late October 2020, where the U.S. Government (USG) walked through details of this RFI and the Army�s vision for ALE concepts of operation and employment as well as discussions on specitic technologies of interest. Vendors submitted many questions prior to and during industry day. This Phase II RFI includes USG responses to the questions received in Phase I. This RFI invites participants from academia and industry to respond. The Response Requirements section details the requirements for responding to Phase II of the RFI addressing the capability needs for the technologies of interest (see Attachment B). ���
