Marine Electromagnetic Ground Family of Systems Dismounted Backpack

The Department of the Navy, specifically through Pm Tce / Electromagnetic Warfare Systems, is seeking the design, development, and validation of prototype Modular Open Architecture systems for the Marine Electromagnetic Ground Family of Systems Dismounted Backpack. These systems must be delivered in a lightweight backpack form factor suitable for use in austere environments, providing effective defensive electronic attack capabilities. Primary functional requirements include Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electromagnetic Warfare and Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems capabilities. The prototypes must be engineered to integrate third-party capabilities and remain effective against various threat types while ensuring ease of transport for operational personnel. This effort falls under NAICS code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. The project is currently listed as a forecast posted on July 2, 2026.
