Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate Accelerated Capability Event 27-02- Spectrum Enabled Warfare
Solicitation # W912CM-25-GTEADACE27-02
The Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD) and U.S. Army Europe and Africa, in partnership with the Army FUZE xTech Program, are conducting Accelerated Capability Event (ACE) 27-02 to identify and acquire operationally mature electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO) capabilities. This effort focuses on enhancing the ability of U.S. Army forces and NATO coalition partners to sense, exploit, and protect tactical command and control networks within contested electromagnetic environments. The program targets four primary capability areas: electromagnetic support and tactical surveillance, autonomous network management, electromagnetic environment visualization and battle damage assessment tools, and electromagnetic attack and active countermeasures. Eligible participants include domestic and foreign for-profit and nonprofit organizations, provided they are not from a foreign country of concern. To be considered, solutions must be at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher and demonstrate the viability to be fielded within 180 days of a contract award. The selection process is a two-part competitive down-select: an initial review of concept white papers and videos to select up to 15 finalists, followed by a live Soldier exercise and pitch event in Germany scheduled for February or March 2027 to determine up to five final winners. Selected winners will receive prize funds and be onboarded into the G-TEAD Library of Competed Capabilities, making them eligible for rapid follow-on procurement without further competition. Potential award pathways include Prototype Other Transaction Agreements, SBIR Direct to Phase II funding for specific capability areas, and FAR-based contracts. Technical requirements emphasize adherence to open standards such as MOSA, SOSA, and CMOSS/CMFF, with mandatory compatibility with the EFDI Data Backbone using WireGuard mesh overlay and Zenoh protocols. Finalists and winners must possess a CAGE/NCAGE code to receive awards.
