RF and Electromagnetic Systems Design and Testing

The contract involves the design, development, and testing of radio frequency-based systems aimed at detecting, jamming, and spoofing command and control links and global navigation satellite system bands used by small unmanned aerial systems. The effort requires specialized technical expertise in RF engineering to create effective counter-UAS solutions that operate within specified electromagnetic environments while ensuring compliance with electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility standards as well as E3 requirements for resilience against electronic attack and environmental stressors. All work must be executed to meet rigorous defense performance benchmarks and integrate seamlessly into existing operational frameworks. Performance of this subcontract is centered in Quantico, with all deliverables expected to be completed and submitted by the response deadline of August 3, 2026. The work falls under NAICS code 334220, classifying it within the manufacture of communications equipment, and is issued by the Department of Defense under the Commander office for use in military and tactical applications. No set-aside provisions are indicated, and the funding is structured as a subcontract, suggesting the prime contractor will oversee integration with broader systems. The project demands a high level of precision in both hardware and software components to ensure operational effectiveness while minimizing unintended interference with friendly or civilian systems.
