Missile Defense Agency - Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE) Announcement
Solicitation # HQ0860-25-S-0001
The Missile Defense Agency Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE) Announcement, solicitation number HQ0860-25-S-0001, is an overarching acquisition strategy active from March 27, 2025, through March 27, 2030. Rather than a single contract, it serves as a consolidated framework to rapidly develop, prototype, and field disruptive missile defense technologies across the entire kill chain. The program focuses on three primary technical areas: Kinetic and Hypersonic Defense for cost-efficient interceptors, Command, Control, and Battle Management utilizing AI and quantum computing, and Space-based Sensors, Interceptors, and Effectors to maintain space domain awareness. Under this framework, the MDA will release individual solicitations using various authorities, including FAR-based procurement contracts and Other Transaction (OT) agreements. Each individual solicitation will define its own specific technical requirements, evaluation criteria, funding levels, and submission deadlines. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and are directed to monitor SAM.gov and the MDA Opportunity Marketplace for new opportunities, such as the Mobile Integrated Launch Capability, Low-Cost Kill Vehicle, and Shipborne Phased Array Instrumentation Radar. All offerors are subject to Organizational Conflict of Interest rules per FAR Subpart 9.5 and DFARS Subpart 209.5. Security requirements include compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, with some efforts requiring secure interfacing with classified systems. All unclassified communications regarding the NOBLE program should be directed to [email hidden].

Mobile Integrated Launch Capability
Solicitation # 26-MDA-12366
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is soliciting innovative and cost-efficient alternatives to current air drop C-17 target launches through the Mobile Integrated Launch Capability (MILC) program. The objective is to develop mobile launch platforms capable of deploying short to long range target missile systems from any location worldwide to increase launch cadence and reduce costs. This effort is structured in two phases: Phase I focuses on detailed design, engagement analysis, and prototype costing with an objective performance period of three to six months; Phase II involves prototyping, ground testing, and the delivery of one launch platform for a target vehicle system launch, with an objective performance period of twelve to twenty-four months. The solicitation is open to large and small businesses, non-traditional defense contractors, and accredited educational institutions. Interested parties must submit white papers detailing their technical approach, design concepts, and a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate. Selection is based on a two-step process evaluating technical merit, innovation, potential utility to agency programs, schedule, and lifecycle cost. Awardees must possess an active Secret Facility Clearance and adhere to strict cybersecurity and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) marking requirements. The MDA will consider various contract types, including fixed price and cost reimbursement, as well as Other Transaction (OT) Agreements.

**PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE** Forward Based Mode Radar Next Prototype
Solicitation # MDA26SNSPN04
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Mobile Land-Based Sensors Project Office is seeking innovative prototype concepts for the Forward-Based Mode (FBM) Radar Next. This effort, conducted under the Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE) Other Transaction Authority (OTA) pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 4022, aims to rapidly develop a highly mobile, rapidly deployable sensor system. The primary objective is to enhance the early warning, tracking, and discrimination of complex, high-speed, and maneuverable threats, including ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles, while ensuring seamless integration into the existing Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) architecture. The prototyping process is structured into four phased cycles: Concept Development, Technology and Manufacturing Readiness and Extensibility, Subscale Prototype and Modeling and Simulation, and Full-Scale Prototype Development and Demonstration. Key technical requirements include C-17 military airlift and tactical ground vehicle compatibility, rapid setup and teardown capabilities, and a modular open-system architecture. Performance will be evaluated through a series of pass/fail gates focusing on hardware/software readiness, manufacturing feasibility, and operational utility. The government encourages collaborative teaming between prime contractors, non-traditional defense contractors, and small businesses, expecting a shared commitment through resource alignment or co-investment. All offerors must possess or obtain a Facility Security Clearance through the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency prior to the start of the first cycle. Performance will take place at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This notice serves as a pre-solicitation and does not constitute a formal request for proposal.
