MSDEW ARA will develop sensors and systems supplies to meet the need for the national defense for improved joint lethality in contested environments, the ability to strike diverse targets inside adversary air and missile defense networks, and support a force which can deploy, survive, operate, maneuver, and regenerate in all domains while under attack. The program advances the Air Force EW (signal) capabilities to me...
View moreUPDATED November 2024: This solicitation update removes all references to Call 01 as that call is closed; extends the close date for the ARA for two years until 13 Jul 2027; adds the Security Risk Review - AFRLI 61-113 and appendices; and updates the primary and second points of contact (POCs).
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, is conducting the Multi-Spectrum Defensive Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA). This program develops sensors and systems to enhance joint lethality in contested environments, enabling the military to strike targets within adversary air and missile defense networks. The initiative supports a force capable of deploying, maneuvering, and regenerating across all domains while under attack by advancing electronic warfare signal capabilities and acquiring aeronautical supplies, parts, and designs for experimental purposes.
The scope of the research includes the design, modeling, simulation and analysis (MS&A), experimentation, testing, and demonstration of multi-spectrum threat warning and countermeasure technologies. Identified under solicitation number FA8650-20-S-1119, the effort falls 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. The government will issue individual Calls for proposals under this ARA, which remains open for submissions until July 13, 2027.
Administrative updates to the solicitation include the transition to Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO/R-DFARS) references and the removal of announcement-level model contracts in favor of issuance at the Call level. Recent revisions also incorporated Security Risk Review requirements under AFRLI 61-113. Documentation for this opportunity includes eight attachments, such as updated solicitation announcements, security program questionnaires, and research profile worksheets. Katie Skaleski serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement.
