Full Description

Show more
Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Vehicles Directorate, Control Sciences Division, Control Systems Development & Applications Branch, (AFRL/RBCC) solicits research proposals to further develop an automated aerial refueling (AAR) capability within the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) as a risk reduction measure to enable future unmanned air vehicle (UAV) weapon system development programs. This program will build upon previous AAR Phase I technical efforts that developed and demonstrated a proof-of-concept AAR capability employing a single-channel relative navigation (RELNAV) system based on Precision GPS (PGPS). The AAR Phase I system was developed, integrated into tanker and (piloted) surrogate UAV receiver aircraft, and demonstrated by simulation and by flight test to the pre-contact, contact and observation aerial refueling positions. During formal simulation activities conducted at AFRL Aerospace Vehicles Technology Assessment and Simulation (AVTAS) facility, entire refueling operations beginning with rendezvous through post refueling were demonstrated. During flight test, automated maneuvering between positions and key portions of rendezvous were also demonstrated. Future unmanned aircraft may utilize both boom and receptacle (USAF-style) and probe and drogue (United States Navy(USN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)-style) refueling. This BAA seeks to develop and demonstrate AAR capabilities for aerial refueling using the boom and receptacle method, while ensuring as much commonality between the USN and USAF AAR architectures as possible. Unique USN AAR configurations, however, will not be demonstrated under this BAA. Interested offerors should download the solicitation document attached to this announcement.

AFRL Enterprise CSO: Centralized Open Spiral
Solicitation # FA865226SC005
Solicitation FA865226SC005 is a Centralized, Open Two-Step Spiral issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory under the Defense Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) framework in accordance with R-DFARS 212.70. The government is seeking Commercial Solutions Brief (CSB) submissions for innovative solutions ranging from advanced component development to operational systems development, specifically limited to Foundational Technologies (AFRL/RE). This procurement follows a two-step process where only CSB submissions are currently requested; offerors must be categorized as Selectable during the Step One evaluation to be invited to Step Two, which involves the submission of a Commercial Solutions Proposal (CSP). The deadline for Step One CSB submissions is 5:00 PM Eastern on April 30, 2027. Submissions must align with the Areas of Interest identified in Attachment 1 of the AFRL Enterprise CSO and follow the formatting instructions in Section 7 and Attachment 2 of the main announcement. While there is no limit on the number of CSBs a single offeror may submit, each must present a unique approach. Submissions should be emailed to afrl.cso.mailbox@us.af.mil, though those containing Controlled Unclassified Information must be transmitted via the DoD SAFE system. This spiral was noted as cancelled effective June 4, 2026, with future spirals transitioning to a decentralized model issued by respective Mission Organizations.

Endless Forge
Solicitation # FA2394-26-R-B003
Endless Forge is a Manufacturing as a Service initiative led by the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate to establish an adaptive, scalable, and resilient production network for the US industrial base. The program aims to shift from sequential value chains to regionalized production networks, enabling the Department of the Air Force to rapidly scale weapon systems based on battlefield performance. With a total estimated program cost of 149 million dollars and multiple awards anticipated, the solicitation focuses on two primary Areas of Interest: technology sprints to reduce risk in enabling technologies like digital certification and software-defined manufacturing, and a technology demonstration to validate the concept across domains such as space systems and autonomous platforms. This unrestricted solicitation, number FA2394-26-R-B003, utilizes a two-step process requiring a five-page white paper followed by a full proposal for selected offerors, with a response deadline of February 19, 2028. Anticipated contracts include Other Transaction for Prototype and Cost Plus Fixed Fee types, with a technical performance period of 33 months. Key requirements include strict adherence to security risk reviews for key personnel to mitigate foreign influence, compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC cybersecurity standards, and the use of the Wide Area Workflow system for invoicing. Deliverables encompass research and development data, scientific and technical reports, and hardware prototypes that must meet MIL-STD-130 unique item identification and MIL-STD-129 packaging standards.
