Rapid UAS Assembly & Field Integration

The contract seeks the development of modular, rapidly assembly processes for unmanned aerial system components such as avionics, propulsion systems, and flight testing equipment, specifically designed for deployment in remote operational environments. The focus is on creating standardized, transportable systems that minimize setup time and logistical complexity while maintaining performance and reliability under field conditions. This effort is intended to enhance operational agility by enabling quick integration and deployment of UAS platforms in austere locations without reliance on extensive infrastructure. The work is being pursued under a subcontract arrangement with the Department of Defense through the FA8684 Aflcmc Rodk office, with performance expected to center in Edwards. The solicitation was posted on July 29, 2026, and responses are due by August 28, 2026. The NAICS code 336413 indicates alignment with aerospace product and parts manufacturing, underscoring the technical and industrial nature of the required capabilities. While no set-aside designation is specified, the contract targets firms with expertise in rapid manufacturing, system integration, and field-deployable aerospace technologies capable of meeting the demanding requirements of military UAS operations.
