Aircraft Defensive Electro-optical Protection Technologies (ADEPT)
Solicitation # FA2377-26-R-B011
The Aircraft Defensive Electro-optical Protection Technologies (ADEPT) program, solicitation FA2377-26-R-B011, is a one-step solicitation issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under the Multi-Spectrum Defensive Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) program. The objective is to develop pre-emptive and reactive countermeasure solutions in the electro-optical spectrum, including directed energy and expendable solutions, to protect U.S. aircraft and aircrew in contested environments. The effort is divided into two technical areas: Hardware and Executable Analysis of Threats (HEAT), which focuses on the exploitation of foreign EO-guided threats to create high-fidelity models, and Advanced Countermeasure Engineering (ACE), which provides scientific and engineering support for threat characterization and digital model development. The total estimated call value is 74,633,000 dollars, utilizing a Cost Plus Fixed Fee arrangement for experimentation, evaluation, and assessment. Proposals are due by November 9, 2026, and must be submitted via DoD SAFE. Offerors must provide separate technical and management proposals, limited to 15 pages per technical area, and a Statement of Work limited to 10 pages. Evaluation is based on a Peer or Scientific Review focusing on technical merit and cost realism, with a requirement that proposals be categorized as selectable for award. The contract requires CMMC Level 2 certification and the submission of a certified DD Form 2345 for access to Controlled Unclassified Information. Performance will take place at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, with invoicing processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow system. Key deliverables include image and signal processing algorithms, software interfaces, and all developed hardware equipment.

Solicitation # FA2377-26-R-B007
The All-domain Radiant Optical Research and Applications (ARORA) program, solicitation FA2377-26-R-B007, is a negotiated request for proposal issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. The program focuses on the design, fabrication, and testing of prototype photonic technologies to provide technical offsets for Department of the Air Force applications, specifically targeting directed energy, infrared sensing, signal processing, electronic warfare, PNT, and spectral agility. This effort is structured as a two-step solicitation process involving an initial white paper followed by a full proposal. The anticipated program cost is 30 million dollars, utilizing a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing arrangement over a 60-month period of performance with deliveries extending to January 2035. Award selection is based on a peer or scientific review to determine if a proposal is selectable, with technical capability as the primary priority and cost realism as the secondary factor. Key deliverables include computer software, algorithms, source code, and all developed hardware. The contract mandates rigorous security and compliance standards, including CMMC Level 2 certification, adherence to AFRLI 61-113 for Science and Technology protection, and mandatory OPSEC training for all personnel. Additionally, the government requires comprehensive security risk reviews for all senior and key personnel to identify potential foreign influence risks. Administrative management is led by Procuring Contracting Officer Adam Wentworth and Contract Specialist Lauren Lozan, with technical oversight provided by Dr. Jarrett Vella.
