PEO-FW Group 2 Air-Launched Effects (A2E) Assessment Event (AE)

Submit NLT 25 September 2026 11:59 PM ET U.S. Citizens Only

Purpose
SOFWERX, in collaboration with the USSOCOM Program Executive Office Fixed Wing (PEO-FW), will host an Assessment Event (AE) to identify potential vendors to integrate existing compatible small, unmanned air system (sUAS) platforms into a Karman Systima Common Launch Tube (CLT). This event aims to accelerate capability insertion for platform systems to be quickly integrated into the CLT system for the purpose of launching Group 2 sUAS.

Background/Synopsis
The Adaptive Airborne Enterprise (A2E) is an interoperable system of systems designed to enable robust ISR capabilities through expendable, autonomous sUAS platforms, resilient data paths, and a common control architecture. FANTOM Core-enabled sUAS platforms are typically launched using the Karman Systima CLT system.

Objective
The objective of this assessment event is to gather information on the integration capabilities of TRL 5+ sUAS into the Karman Systima CLT for Air-Launched Effects (ALE). Specifically, the Government seeks to identify airframes capable of rapid integration into the Karman Systima Space & Defense CLT to support Find, Fix, Track, Target (F2T2) and Electronic Warfare (EW) missions under the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) A2E program.

Why You Should Participate
USSOCOM seeks to enter into non-FAR or FAR-based agreements with Industry, Academic, and National Lab partners whose solutions are favorably evaluated by PEO-FW Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). As such, the follow-on Assessment Event (AE) is considered competitive, and solutions will be evaluated independently of one another primarily for technical merit. This serves dually as notification of the intent to research the feasibility of an agreement under 10 U.S. Code, Section 4022 and/or Section 4022(f), and as notice of pre-solicitation activities IAW FAR 5.204.

Event Timeline
Phase 1 - 25 August 2026 to 25 September 2026 Submissions to the Assessment Event (AE) Open: Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that meet the needs of USSOCOM are encouraged to submit their capability for USSOCOM review. To submit your technology for potential Phase 3 attendance, please review the assessment criteria and follow the submission instructions at the bottom of this webpage.

Phase 1a - 02 September 2026 Q&A Telecon: Interested offerors may participate in a virtual Q&A session to better understand the PM's specific technology objectives. The telecon will take place on 02 September from 1:00–2:00 PM ET. RSVP at the bottom of this webpage.

Phase 2 - 28 September 2026 to 09 October 2026 Downselect: USSOCOM will downselect those respondents/submissions they feel have the highest potential to satisfy their technology needs. Favorably evaluated submissions will receive an invitation to attend the AE on/around 12 October.

Phase 3 - 27 October 2026 Assessment Event (AE): During the AE, selected participants will be allotted a one-on-one session with the USSOCOM evaluation panel to pitch, demonstrate, and/or discuss their solutions. The forum will include a Q&A portion and discussions may continue outside of the event. Solution brief presentation guidelines will be outlined in the event invitation and solutions will be assessed according to the criteria in the link provided below. If the USSOCOM evaluation panel favorably evaluates a solution brief, negotiations for Phase 4 may immediately begin.

This event will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams.

Phase 4 - Path Forward: Successfully negotiated awards may fall under any combination of these categories:

Business to business research and development agreement as a sub-award through the SOFWERX Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) (15 U.S. Code Section 3715)
OTA for research or prototype projects (10 U.S. Code Sections 4021, 4022)
- An award under 10 U. S. Code, Section 4022 may result in the further award of a follow-on production agreement without additional competition based on successful prototype completion. The Government may make this follow-on production award based upon successful prototype criteria, which will be determined for each prototype project.
Procurement for experimental purposes (10 U.S. Code Section 4023)
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (15 U.S. Code Section 3710a)
Prizes for advanced technology achievements (10 U. S. Code Section 4025) and/or prize competitions (15 U.S. Code 3719)
FAR-based procurement contract

NOTE: Awardees may need to be compliant with NIST SP 800-171, Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in Non-Federal Systems and Organizations
