Full Description

Show more

This Request for Information (RFI) is part of an effort by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to determine the availability and technical readiness of directed energy technologies. The USCG is interested in systems or effectors that use high energy lasers (HEL) or comparable laser technology to incapacitate targets of interest (TOIs) in the maritime environment. The “maritime environment” refers to installation locations that include, but are not limited to, fixed sites such as piers, on the move (OTM) cutters, and OTM small boats. The unique challenges of the maritime environment may require packaging to protect against shock, vibration, sea spray, and airborne particulates, including smoke and fuel exhaust. Primary TOIs for this RFI are, but are not limited to, uncrewed systems, to include uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and uncrewed surface vessels (USV). Information is specifically requested regarding physical dimensions of the effector: its weight, power requirements, cooling requirements, and rough order of magnitude for cost of acquisition and installation. Responses should also include wavelength, output power, area of effect, and range information. Software load to include target profiles and targeting methods should be included as available.

Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX)The Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX) initiative is a collaborative U.S. Army process designed to engage industry partners in advancing Army modernization goals through multi-domain experimentation. Managed by the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) and aligned under the Transformation and Training Command (T2COM), SPARX facilitates industry submissions of technology overviews that are pre-screened by subject matter experts to identify innovative capabilities suitable for integration into operationally relevant Army experimentation events. These technologies support the Army’s efforts to maintain overmatch across air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace domains by contributing to a campaign of collective innovation and experimentation. The process allows for streamlined submission and evaluation of technologies through a structured SPARX Technology Overview template, which captures detailed information including operational relevance, maturity (measured by Technology and Integration Readiness Levels), integration requirements, safety concerns, and vendor objectives. Notably, the program focuses on non-proprietary information and carefully screens submissions for compliance with U.S. supply chain security policies, especially regarding the origin of UAS components. This Request for Information (RFI), issued under solicitation number W91CPT25XSPRX by the Department of Defense at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, serves solely as an information gathering and planning mechanism rather than a contractual procurement. Amendments have clarified that submissions should avoid proprietary data and reflect technology readiness for potential inclusion in experimentation events managed independently by Army event planners. Prospective industry partners may submit technology overview documents at any time until the deadline of April 14, 2030. Smoothed submission processes encourage broad participation, with the understanding that participation in experimentation events involves coordination with event hosts and may necessitate additional documentation such as NDAs or proof of liability insurance. Selection for experimentation is qualitatively based on alignment with Army modernization priorities, operational applicability, and safety considerations rather than formal award criteria or contract clauses. The SPARX RFI does not obligate the Government to procure products or services and contains no standard FAR or DFARS contract clauses. Its principal purpose is to foster innovation by matching industry technological capabilities with experimental Army requirements in a transparent, secure, and collaborative environment.
