AI Contract Overview
The Marine Corps is hosting an invitation-only, in-person Industry Day on September 16, 2026, at the Regimental Conference Room of the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia, focused exclusively on advancing wearable and man-packable Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPA) for handheld and dismounted PNT applications. The event, which is unclassified and restricted to U.S. citizens only, aims to gather industry input on technologies that can deliver resilient, jam-resistant positioning, navigation, and timing capabilities in GPS-denied and electromagnetically contested environments. Companies must register via a specified portal by 5:00 p.m. EST on August 31, 2026, with only one submission permitted per organization and limited to four pages of supporting materials. Registration does not guarantee a speaking slot, and assignments will be communicated by September 4, 2026. Attendance is at the company’s own expense, and no procurement commitment or reimbursement is implied or provided. The Marine Corps seeks solutions with extreme SWaP-C optimization, enabling operation on standard tactical power sources, and form factors that integrate seamlessly with body armor, backpacks, or helmets without impeding mobility or creating snag hazards. Emphasis is placed on advanced anti-jam performance using dynamic null steering and beamforming across broadband and continuous wave threats, alongside plug-and-play interoperability with existing military systems including M-Code receivers. Participants must protect their own proprietary information as the government assumes no liability for its exposure. This Industry Day serves solely as market research and is not a solicitation; no formal acquisition action is guaranteed, and any resulting future procurement decisions will be made at the government’s sole discretion. Logistics and scheduling inquiries are to be directed to [email hidden], while contracting points of contact are Alexis Brown and Wanda Harner. The event is part of a broader effort to inform future acquisition strategies and performance specifications for dismounted PNT capabilities.

INTRODUCTION
The PdM PNT sponsors quarterly Industry Day events for PNT capabilities. The purpose of these Industry Days is to provide an opportunity for industry to deliver information on their capabilities that may be relevant to PNT. The next PNT Industry Day will be held by invitation only, in-person on 16 September 2026 in the Regimental Conference Room of the National Museum of the Marine Corps (1775 Semper Fidelis Way, Triangle, VA 22172). The PNT Industry Day event is UNCLASSIFIED. Companies will register via the URL (listed in the message). Registration closes at 1700 EST on 31 August 2026. The PNT Team will review registrants and assign timeslots. Timeslots are not guaranteed. No later than 4 September 2026, a follow-on email will be sent to registrants, providing either an assigned timeslot or advising that a timeslot was not assigned.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) requires resilient, reliable, and secure PNT capabilities that enables effective maneuver warfare and expeditionary operations in Global Positioning System (GPS) denied and Electromagnetic Warfare contested environments. This Industry Day will focus on Wearable and Man-Packable Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPA) that can be utilized for Handheld or Dismounted applications.
The Government is actively seeking innovative industry solutions to scale technology down to the dismounted operator, while ensuring continuous PNT capability without degrading operator mobility or increasing physical burden.
Examples of capabilities of interest to PdM PMT for this industry day event include, but are not limited to:
- Extreme SWaP-C Optimization: Aggressive reduction in Size, Weight, Power, and Cost. Solutions must operate efficiently on standard dismounted power solutions (e.g., Conformal Wearable Batteries).
- Form Factor & Ergonomics: Low-profile, conformal, or flexible antenna arrays designed for seamless integration into existing tactical gear (e.g., body armor, plate carriers, backpacks, boot or helmet mounts) without introducing snag hazards or restricting physical movement.
- Advanced Anti-Jam Performance: Multi-element arrays capable of dynamic null steering and beamforming to counter broadband, narrowband, and continuous wave jamming threats.
- System Interoperability: Plug-and-play compatibility with current and future End User Devices, tactical radios, and standard military GPS receivers (including M-Code).
Future quarterly Industry Day events may include additional targeted capabilities, which will be defined in future announcements.
INDUSTRY DAY AGENDA
Those registrants assigned an Industry Day timeslot should be focused on technical capabilities and how their capabilities might meet current and future USMC PNT needs outlined above. Participation in the Industry Day event is not a prerequisite for submitting any future proposal.
Those who wish to participate will register using this online form. Registration requests via email will not be accepted. Full link: https://virtualindustryday.org/public/projects/669/statement/1181
