United States - ACC APG Div A C5ISR RFI for Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) Electromagnetic Support

Description

Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) Electromagnetic Support (ES)
Request for Information (RFI)

Synopsis:
The Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is issuing this RFI to identify capable navigation warfare (NAVWAR) techniques, technologies, and enablers that may inform future research and development efforts.

The Army must compete against a complex contested environment.  The environment will be multi-domain, technologically advanced, automated, and highly capable in the modern battlefield.  Our objective is to provide the maneuver force the ability to effectively sense the environment, in order to successfully complete their objectives. The US Army  C5ISR Center is interested in systems TRL 4 and above that use radio frequency (RF) techniques to detect emitters, protect RF position, navigation and timing (PNT), locate emitters and identify waveforms. The C5ISR Center is interested in systems that perform a single part of the detect, protect, locate, characterize, and identify mission, as well as systems that perform all functions. Systems that are designed for other spaces, but cover the navigation signals at the top of the ultra high frequency (UHF) band with functions in the above mission space are also of interest.

Due to the nature of NAVWAR capabilities, responses may be classified. If so, please submit classified answers separately to the classified email address(es) listed at the end of this RFI.  Please request the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) version of this RFI.
