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. This initiative consolidates multiple solicitation authorities to accelerate the development, prototyping, and deployment of innovative missile defense technologies. Key technical focus areas include kinetic and hypersonic defense solutions, space-based capabilities such as resilient satellite constellations and advanced sensors, and command, control, and battle management advancements leveraging artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and autonomous systems. This announcement serves as a framework rather than a direct solicitation; therefore, no white papers or proposals should be submitted to the announcement itself. Instead, the MDA will release individual solicitations under this umbrella, each specifying its own technical requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission deadlines. These may take the form of FAR-based procurement contracts or Other Transaction agreements. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management and are encouraged to monitor the MDA Opportunity Marketplace and SAM.gov for specific opportunities, such as the Mobile Integrated Launch Capability, Low-Cost Kill Vehicle, and Shipborne Phased Array Instrumentation Radar. All communications must be unclassified and 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.
