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 Air Force Base, is conducting the Multi-Spectrum Defensive Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA). This program seeks to develop sensors and systems supplies to enhance joint lethality in contested environments, enabling the strike of diverse targets within adversary air and missile defense networks. The initiative focuses on advancing Air Force electronic warfare signal capabilities through the acquisition of aeronautical supplies, parts, accessories, and designs intended for experimental and test purposes. Performance involves the design, modeling, simulation and analysis, experimentation, testing, and demonstration of multi-spectrum threat warning and countermeasures technologies.
Solicitation FA8650-20-S-1119 is classified under NAICS 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 ARA remains 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) standards, removed references to a model contract at the announcement level, and integrated Security Risk Review requirements via AFRLI 61-113.
The primary point of contact for this research announcement is Katie Skaleski. The solicitation includes eight total attachments, featuring updated solicitation announcements from April 2025 and April 2026, as well as multiple documents related to security risk reviews, such as a security program questionnaire, a privacy act form for covered individuals, and a key person profile worksheet. These materials support the strategic objective of maintaining a force capable of deploying, surviving, and operating across all domains while under attack.
