The objective is to develop pre-emptive and reactive countermeasure solutions in the electro-optical spectrum, including directed energy, expendables, and novel developmental concepts, to protect 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 modeling inputs, and Advanced Countermeasure Engineering (ACE), which provides scientific and engineering support for threat characterization, testing, and digital model development. The total estimated call value is 74,633,000 dollars, utilizing a Cost Plus Fixed Fee arrangement and an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract structure. Proposals are due by November 9, 2026, and must be submitted via DoD SAFE in separate technical and business volumes. Technical proposals are limited to 15 pages per area, and Statements of Work are limited to 10 pages. Award selection is based on a Peer or Scientific Review evaluating technical merit and cost realism, with a requirement that proposals be categorized as selectable to be considered. Performance will take place at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, and requires contractors to meet CMMC Level 2 (Self) cybersecurity standards and provide a certified DD Form 2345 for access to Controlled Unclassified Information.

ADVANCED RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT (ARA) TITLE: CHARACTERIZATION AND ASSESSMENT FOR SPACE DOMAIN AWARENESS (SDA)
Solicitation # FA875024S7005
The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Rome Research Site, issued Advanced Research Announcement (ARA) FA8750-24-S-7005 to solicit research for the design, development, and testing of technologies supporting Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and Space Superiority. The effort focuses on high-performance computational SDA, specifically targeting intelligent tasking, multi-source data fusion, automated pattern learning, and high-fidelity satellite modeling to create integrated, predictive capabilities. The total estimated funding for the ARA is approximately 99 million dollars, with individual awards typically ranging from 1 million to 10 million dollars and lasting up to 48 months. Awards may be issued as FAR-based procurement contracts or Other Transactions (OT), with the potential for successful prototypes to transition into follow-on production contracts. The solicitation was structured as a two-step process, initially accepting white papers to determine technical merit and relevance before inviting formal proposals. Evaluation criteria focused equally on overall scientific and technical merit and the offeror's related experience with the Air Force or Joint DoD partners. Requirements included strict adherence to security standards such as NISPOM and specific disclosures regarding foreign influence and organizational conflicts of interest. However, according to Amendment 3, this ARA was officially cancelled and closed on September 9, 2025, and no further white papers are being accepted.

Performance Enhanced Real-time Ground Environment (PEREGRINE) Sentry
Solicitation # SDA-SN-26-0016
The Space Development Agency is seeking capable sources for the Performance Enhanced Real-time Ground Environment (PEREGRINE) Sentry effort to support the resilient missile warning and tracking mission. The objective is to evolve the current PWSA ground segment into a secure, multi-tenant common development environment and a loosely-coupled, Modular Open Systems Architecture compliant ground segment framework. The selected lead platform integrator will be responsible for managing the software ecosystem framework lifecycle, ingesting third-party application developer capabilities, and executing a low-risk legacy capability transition under a strict do no harm paradigm. Technical requirements emphasize expertise in Hybrid Cloud, DevSecOps, Multi-Level Security, and Model-Based Systems Engineering, with the production phase utilizing a hub-and-spoke architecture spanning Commercial Cloud Enterprise resources and on-premises capabilities at Ops Centers. The anticipated acquisition strategy begins with an 18-month firm-fixed-price Other Transaction Agreement prototype contract focused on developing the cloud-native framework and environment. This may be followed by a production contract consisting of a three-year base period and two three-year option periods. Prime contractors must maintain a Top Secret facility clearance and are subject to potential Organizational Conflict of Interest restrictions, which may preclude them from developing mission applications integrated into the ecosystem. Responses to this sources sought notice, which are for informational purposes and not a formal solicitation, are due by October 30, 2026, and must be limited to thirteen pages excluding the cover page.

NGA - Boosting Innovative GEOINT - Science & Technology Broad Agency Announcement (BIG-ST BAA): Topic # 07 – Lidar Analysis for Surface & Environmental Reconnaissance (LASER)
Solicitation # HM047627XXXX
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is soliciting innovative research and development proposals through the Boosting Innovative GEOINT-Science and Technology (BIG-ST) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), solicitation number HM047623BAA0001. This general solicitation focuses on three primary technical domains: Foundational GEOINT, Advanced Phenomenologies, and Analytic Technologies. While the BAA serves as a general announcement of research interests for Technology Readiness Levels 1 through 7, specific requirements and submission timelines are issued via separate Topic Calls. Awards may be granted as procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or Other Transaction Agreements. The current active effort is Topic 07, Lidar Analysis for Surface and Environmental Reconnaissance (LASER), which seeks to develop AI/ML workflows for the autonomous detection of man-made surface and subsurface objects using ICESat-2 and GEDI space lidar data. This Phase 2 effort has a budget of $854,000 over a 15-month period of performance, with an estimated start date of February 15, 2027. The project aims to advance technology from TRL 4 to TRL 5 or 6, requiring a probability of detection greater than 75 percent and positional accuracy within one meter for underwater targets and centimeter scale for above-ground targets. Key deliverables include a kick-off brief, AI/ML methodology reports, a final demonstration, and a comprehensive final report. Proposals must strictly adhere to the Appendix 2 template and include four volumes covering technical/management, cost/price, and security, along with required attachments such as a Statement of Work and Acquisition Security Review questionnaire. Security is a critical component, with requirements ranging from unclassified Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling to Top Secret/SCI clearances and polygraph testing depending on the work's classification level. Evaluation is based on a conformance review followed by a scientific and technical review, where the government assigns confidence ratings to determine the most advantageous proposal. Administrative requirements include electronic invoicing via the Invoice Processing Platform and compliance with DFARS cybersecurity standards.
