This effort involves procuring non-commercial unmanned Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) systems to detect, locate, track, and identify cooperative and non-cooperative threats. Technical requirements include Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensing, edge-based processing, and collaborative networking under remote Command and Control (C2). The Air Force plans to award a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. A formal Request for Proposal (RFP) is expected on SAM.gov in late June 2026.
