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 Air Force Base, OH, is seeking to develop sensors and system supplies through the Multi-Spectrum Defense Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA). This initiative, identified under solicitation number FA8650-20-S-1119, focuses on enhancing joint lethality in contested environments and improving the ability to strike targets within adversary air and missile defense networks. The program supports the acquisition of aeronautical designs, parts, and accessories for experimental and test purposes to advance Air Force electronic warfare signal capabilities.
The scope of the MSDEW ARA includes the design, modeling, simulation and analysis, experimentation, testing, and demonstration of multi-spectrum threat warning and countermeasures technologies. These efforts are intended to support a force capable of operating and regenerating across all domains while under attack. The opportunity 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.
This announcement remains open for individual calls through a response deadline of July 13, 2027. Recent administrative updates have transitioned the solicitation to Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO/R-DFARS) references and established that model contracts will be issued at the call level rather than the announcement level. Eight associated attachments provide additional framework, including security risk review documentation and updated solicitation announcements. Katie Skaleski serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement.
