Background

The purpose of the anticipated acquisition is to obtain essential engineering, research, development, modeling and simulation analysis, and test and evaluation documentation in the area of EW/EMS superiority in a capabilities-based system of systems context. The Government requires independent analyses of next generation technology with insight into the full breadth of Navy, Air Force, and DoD investments in Electronic Warfare. Must have expertise in providing integrated analytical framework for building the next generation of electronic attack (EA) (both defensive and offensive EA) platforms and architectures.

These research products are vital to enabling U.S. dominance within electronic warfare (EW) through a full range of scenarios in which U.S. forces are expected to conduct operations. The continuation of this research capability is essential to maintaining U.S. EW/EMS superiority by providing the necessary unbiased and independent engineering, research, development, modeling and simulation analysis, and test and evaluation products.

Requirements

  • Electronic Warfare/Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations:
    • Electronic Attack (EA – defensive and offensive) systems and architectures
    • Electronic Protection (EP) technologies and methodologies
    • Electronic Warfare Support (ES) capabilities
    • Electromagnetic spectrum management and control
    • Cognitive electronic warfare systems
    • Multi-domain EW operations integration
  • Advanced EW Technologies:
    • RF and microwave systems design and analysis
    • Software-defined radio (SDR) and adaptive waveform technologies
    • Machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in EW
    • Advanced signal processing and exploitation
    • Detection/identification/location of unintentional emissions
    • Directed energy weapons integration with EW systems
    • Quantum technologies for EW applications
  • System of Systems Integration:
    • Platform-agnostic EW architectures
    • Cross-domain solution integration
    • Joint and coalition EW interoperability
    • EW effects coordination across multiple platforms
    • Network-centric EW operations
    • EW integration with cyber and information operations
  • Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis:
    • High-fidelity electromagnetic environment modeling
    • EW effectiveness assessment methodologies
    • Threat system modeling and simulation
    • Campaign-level EW analysis
    • Vulnerability and survivability assessments
    • Cost-effectiveness analysis for EW investments
