Next Generation Aircraft Protection Technologies Research and Development Service

The United States Air Force is seeking next generation aircraft protection technologies research and development services to be performed for a government authority located in Massachusetts. The agency needs to develop a modular, upgradable Next Generation Aircraft Protection system based upon open architecture standards. Through this initiative, the agency is trying to identify eligible vendors capable of developing part or all of this next generation aircraft protection system. The scope of work covers the development of unique solutions and innovative ideas to rapidly develop technologies of novel capabilities. The selected vendor must characterize new technologies and system concepts that provide evolutionary, revolutionary, and disruptive capabilities for the Air Force. This work will be accomplished through systems requirements development, prototyping, studies, and demonstrations. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations only. The performance of the requested work will take place offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget, nor have they provided key dates in the source documentation.
