The Department of the Air Force is conducting the Multi-Spectrum Defensive Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA) under solicitation number FA8650-20-S-1119. The program develops sensors and systems supplies to improve joint lethality in contested environments and strike targets within adversary air and missile defense networks. These efforts support forces that must deploy, survive, and operate in all domains while under attack by advancing Air Force electronic warfare signal capabilities. The scope includes the acquisition of aeronautical supplies, parts, accessories, and designs for experimental and test purposes, with work performed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
This research and development initiative involves the design, modeling, simulation and analysis, experimentation, testing, and demonstration of multi-spectrum threat warning and countermeasures technologies. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AC33 for National Defense R&D Services; Defense-Related Activities; Experimental Development. Supporting documentation includes eight attachments, such as updated solicitation announcements from April 2025 and 2026, and multiple security risk review appendices including a Research and Related Senior and Key Person Profile Worksheet.
The ARA is open for calls through a response deadline of July 13, 2027. Recent administrative updates have transitioned all FAR and DFARS references to Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO/R-DFARS) references and shifted the issuance of model contracts from the announcement level to the individual call level. The solicitation also incorporates Security Risk Review AFRLI 61-113 requirements. Katie Skaleski is the designated point of contact for this announcement.
