The Army Research Laboratory’s Detonation Science and Modeling Branch is seeking a single high-resolution, high-throughput spectrograph to support advanced scientific research, with the procurement to be conducted under FAR Part 12 as a commercial acquisition. The instrument must feature an intensified camera with a continuous wavelength range of at least 180 to 1100 nanometers, capable of detecting the carbon C line at 247 nm and the oxygen O line at 777 nm, and must achieve a minimum resolving power of 4,000 using a Gen II or equivalent ICCD detector with an S25 18-millimeter photocathode and quartz window for UV/VIS/NIR sensitivity. The system requires adjustable gate pulse delay from 0 to at least 500 microseconds in 5-nanosecond increments and a minimum gate width of 50 nanoseconds, with the ability to be triggered by a neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet laser’s q-switch signal. Modular design is mandatory to allow user-swappable grating cassettes and detectors, enabling expanding resolving power up to 50,000. Optics must include an input collimator with an f-number of at least f/10, detector focusing optics under f/3, and a demagnification factor of 0.2x or greater, along with focus adjusters for optimal resolution. The spectrograph must include solarization-resistant fiber optic cable, all necessary interface software and hardware for calibration and control to produce a linearized wavelength spectrum, weigh less than 40 pounds, and fit within dimensions of 20 inches in width, length, and height. The contractor must include all shipping and insurance charges and provide a minimum one-year warranty. The solicitation number is W911QX26QA094, the NAICS code is 334516, and there are no set-asides. Proposals are due by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 1, 2026, and must be submitted via email to [email hidden], with an anticipated award date of July 31, 2026. The point of contact for technical inquiries is Joseph M. Dellinger, and the place of performance is Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

RF Sensor Network Design & IntegrationThe contract involves the design and integration of a multi-domain RF sensor network specifically engineered to detect and characterize frequency-agile unmanned aerial systems. This effort requires advanced signal processing capabilities to identify, track, and classify UAS threats in complex electromagnetic environments, with an emphasis on real-time situational awareness and adaptive response. The solution must be scalable, ruggedized for field operations, and capable of seamless operation across multiple domains including ground, air, and potentially space-based platforms. Deployment planning is a critical component, ensuring the network can be rapidly installed and configured in diverse operational terrains with minimal logistical footprint. The system must interoperate with existing military command, control, communications, and intelligence systems to feed actionable data into broader defense architectures. Performance requirements include high sensitivity to low-power signals, resistance to jamming and spoofing, and the ability to function autonomously in contested or denied environments. The work is to be performed in West Fork, Arkansas, under a subcontract arrangement with the Department of Defense, leveraging NAICS code 334511 for electronic component and product manufacturing.
