Selected vendors will develop and field-test interchangeable payloads—including sensors, communications, and electronic warfare systems—with brigade-level units to maximize battlefield flexibility.

This feasibility study seeks compact LiDAR system designs for portable underwater vehicles operating in shallow coastal waters. The effort addresses the need for safe, affordable, and easily integrated payloads that enable rapid deployment and standardized data collection in littoral environments.

ERDC seeks advanced Battery Energy Storage Systems to hybridize legacy MEP-810D diesel generators, improving tactical electrical grid resilience and efficiency through modernized prime power capabilities.

The Air Force seeks a non-invasive wearable device that continuously detects viral and bacterial infections through biomarkers in saliva or sweat, then delivers immediate broad-spectrum treatment in austere operational environments where medical care is unavailable, enabling early threat response and improved warfighter survivability.

The U.S. Embassy Kuwait is funding public diplomacy projects ($5,000–$25,000) that advance American security, commercial, and cultural interests. Eligible organizations include NGOs, think tanks, and educational institutions proposing educational partnerships, speaker programs, and cultural initiatives that counter malign influence and strengthen pro-U.S. networks.

Air Force solicits sound testing services at Edwards AFB and Nellis AFB for acoustic analysis and flight testing. 5-year IDIQ contract for noise measurement and acoustic characterization.

DOE seeks inspection solutions for small-diameter heat exchanger tubes fabricated via additive manufacturing using Alloy 625 Inconel. Research on non-destructive testing methods for compact additively manufactured components.

This RFP seeks a modeling and simulation tool for generating high-fidelity, thermally-accurate virtual EO/IR objects—such as clouds and debris fields—to enhance developmental testing of missile warning and infrared countermeasure systems. The solution must support real-time scene generation across multiple resolutions and frame rates for realistic survivability assessments in cluttered battlefield environments.
