F-35 Agnostic Rapid Weapons Integration
Solicitation # DAF26BZ05-DV032
The Department of the Air Force is seeking a solution to overhaul the outdated and overly slow process for integrating weapons and software updates onto the F-35 fleet, particularly within the Air National Guard and Air Reserve Component, where current timelines of three to five years for munitions integration are untenable in the face of rapidly evolving threats. The goal is to reduce this timeline to one to two months, or even days during emergencies, through non-recurring engineering efforts that enable agnostic, rapid integration of both kinetic and non-kinetic fires without relying on legacy airworthiness constraints. This effort is critical for the Family of Affordable Mass Munitions, as the F-35’s limited magazine capacity and inability to quickly adapt its weapons loadout severely constrain its combat effectiveness and mission endurance. The solution must also account for growing operational flight program divergence across different F-35 blocks, requiring a flexible, scalable architecture capable of supporting diverse fire capabilities on the same airframe without compromising safety or certification standards. This initiative is structured as a Small Business Set-Aside under the SBIR/STTR program, with the solicitation open exclusively to small businesses with fewer than 500 employees, targeting innovation from firms capable of delivering rapid, secure, and certified integration technologies. The contract falls under NAICS code 541512 for custom computer programming services and is managed by the Department of Defense through the United States Air Force. The solicitation was posted in August 2026 with a response deadline just three weeks later, reflecting the urgency of the need. The place of performance is not specified, indicating potential for remote or distributed work, and the requirement emphasizes not just technical feasibility but the ability to deploy solutions at scale across multiple F-35 variants and operational units, ensuring all blocks retain interoperability and combat readiness despite evolving software and weapon systems.

The Department of the Air Force is seeking to revolutionize the way weapons are integrated onto the F-16 platform by developing a modular and scalable architecture based on the Open Systems Enclave framework to drastically reduce the time required to field new munitions. Current processes, which take three to five years, are too slow to keep pace with rapidly evolving threats, particularly in the context of the Family of Affordable Mass Munitions program, where speed and adaptability are critical. The new architecture must enable rapid airframe integration, cutting deployment timelines from years down to weeks or even days during emergencies, ensuring the F-16 remains operationally relevant against near-peer adversaries. This initiative is part of a broader modernization imperative to overcome legacy software and integration bottlenecks that have long hindered the Air Force’s ability to innovate and respond. This solicitation, titled F-16 Agnostic Rapid Weapons Integration under solicitation number DAF26BZ05-DV031, is exclusively set aside for small businesses with fewer than 500 employees, in accordance with the SBIR/STTR mandate. It is classified under NAICS code 541512 for custom computer programming services and is managed by the Department of Defense through the U.S. Air Force. The opportunity was posted on August 5, 2026, with proposals due by August 26, 2026. Success will be measured by the ability to deliver a proven, field-ready system that is agnostic to specific weapon types and can be rapidly adapted to future technologies without requiring extensive airframe modifications or lengthy certification cycles. The ultimate goal is to establish a sustainable, scalable foundation for future warfare systems that prioritizes agility, interoperability, and speed of deployment.

Solicitation # DAF26BZ05-DV030
The United States Air Force is seeking advanced high-temperature semiconductor transistor technologies capable of operating reliably at or above 500°C to support demanding defense environments and electronic warfare applications where conventional electronics fail above 250°C. The goal is to bridge a critical technology gap by developing devices and circuits that meet specific performance thresholds: operating at a minimum of 1MHz, preferably 10MHz or higher, and scaling to integrated circuits containing 5,000 to 100,000 transistors through validated 100-1,000 transistor building blocks. Proposals must target a concrete defense application with a clear pathway into the defense microelectronics industrial base, with particular preference given to solutions aligned with electronic warfare systems. The work must encompass full development cycles including circuit design, semiconductor device engineering, fabrication, and rigorous high-temperature characterization, with an emphasis on complementary transistor topologies to enable robust, industry-standard circuit architecture. Failure analysis using structural, chemical, and electrical methods such as cross-sectional SEM and in-situ electrical testing under thermal stress is strongly encouraged to refine device reliability and performance. The project is structured as a Phase II SBIR/STTR effort under a total small business set-aside, targeting entities with fewer than 500 employees, and requires a Technology Readiness Level of 3 at project initiation, demonstrating analytical or experimental proof of concept, to be advanced to TRL 5 by project completion through validated device operation at 500°C or higher in a relevant environment. The solicitation, identified as DAF26BZ05-DV030, was posted on August 5, 2026, with responses due by August 26, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 334413 for semiconductor and related device manufacturing. Applicants must substantiate their proposed solutions with credible transition paths to operational systems within the defense ecosystem, ensuring the outcomes are not only technologically viable but also practically deployable in high-heat platforms such as fighter jets, hypersonic vehicles, or advanced radar systems exposed to extreme thermal loads.

The U.S. Space Force is transitioning from static space operations to an active, maneuverable posture in response to a contested space domain, requiring radical advancements in space power systems to support next-generation electric propulsion, space edge computing, and space-based solar power. These capabilities demand high-voltage power architectures operating between 200V and 800V to meet stringent size, weight, and power constraints imposed by launch costs, while ensuring reliable operation in the harsh radiation environment of space. Central to this transition is the development of radiation-hardened high-voltage power switches that can withstand single event burnouts caused by heavy-ion radiation without significant increases in on-resistance, as excessive resistance undermines efficiency and system performance. Current silicon-based radiation-hardened switches are limited to 350V due to susceptibility to electrical field transients in space, necessitating innovative device architectures that reduce internal electric fields while maintaining low on-resistance. The goal is to enable reliable, high-efficiency power switching at voltages approaching 800V without resorting to performance-limiting derating. This contract seeks advanced microelectronic solutions that push the boundaries of high-voltage radiation tolerance, directly supporting the maneuverability, autonomy, and resilience of future space assets. The solicitation is a Small Business Set-Aside under the SBIR/STTR program, targeting innovative small businesses under 500 employees to accelerate the development and demonstration of these critical components for the Department of Defense.

Solicitation # DAF26BZ05-NV029
The Air Force is seeking to revolutionize the manufacturing of composite pi-joints through innovative carbon fiber architectures and scalable production methods to overcome existing limitations in geometric flexibility and mechanical performance. Current solutions—whether back-to-back “L” joints with customizable shapes but lower strength or 3D woven joints with superior structural integrity but limited design options—are too costly and not adaptable enough for large-scale production required by next-generation Autonomous Collaborative Platforms and advanced weapons systems. This effort aims to develop new composite joint technologies that can be tailored to multiple performance envelopes while enabling mass production of lightweight, durable connections for composite airframes, directly supporting the Department of the Air Force’s goals for tactical air dominance and long-range strike capabilities. The project will begin at Technology Readiness Level 2 with fundamental research into material configurations and manufacturing pathways, progressing through Phase I to establish technical feasibility through preliminary designs, fiber architectures, and cost projections, and culminating in Phase II with validated prototypes tested under realistic operational conditions at Technology Readiness Level 6. Phase I focuses on comprehensive benchmarking of existing solutions, fabrication of initial pi-joint test articles demonstrating novel fiber layouts, and development of a preliminary process flow for converting dry fiber preforms into thermoplastic or thermoset composite joints, ending with a feasibility report outlining geometries, materials, and economic projections. Phase II expands to optimizing fiber architectures for expanded design space, integrating advanced resin impregnation techniques into scalable preform manufacturing, fabricating test specimens tailored for specific applications including ACP airframes, and conducting rigorous mechanical testing to validate performance under multiple loading conditions. The deliverables include functional prototypes with detailed tow path diagrams and material specs, comprehensive mechanical test data including failure envelopes, full process documentation covering equipment, materials, and steps, and cost models for both low-rate initial production and high-volume surge manufacturing. The goal is to create a transformative, cost-effective manufacturing capability that bridges the gap between design adaptability and structural performance, enabling the widespread adoption of advanced composite structures across future defense platforms while meeting the small business set-aside requirements under the SBIR/STTR mandate.

Real Time Enhanced Fine Tracking in Directed Energy Applications
Solicitation # DAF26TZ05-NV005
The contract seeks the development of a real-time 3D imaging and tracking system to enhance fine tracking capabilities in directed energy applications, particularly for low-flying targets like drones against cluttered backgrounds where traditional 2D imaging struggles. Current systems rely on 2D correlation trackers that require pre-identified target templates, which are unreliable due to limited depth information and perspective distortions. The solution focuses on leveraging 3D coherent imaging, such as digital holography, which provides complex-valued 2.5D images with amplitude and phase data that reveal range information robust to atmospheric scintillation and speckle. This 3D data enables improved pose estimation and aimpoint maintenance critical for fine tracking loops that must operate above 1 kHz to compensate for dynamic aero-optical distortions over long standoff ranges. The system must incorporate active coherent or partially coherent illumination to enable day-night operation while mitigating non-uniform illumination and noise, and must integrate advanced image restoration techniques combining physics-based models and machine learning to correct anisoplanatic phase errors computationally efficiently. The effort is divided into two phases: Phase I requires analysis of existing 3D imaging methods, development of system-level requirements, design of algorithms for enhanced 3D tracking and aimpoint maintenance, and creation of a hardware concept with latency and throughput analysis for real-time closed-loop operation. Phase II will implement and demonstrate a prototype system on high-speed processors, integrating illumination, imaging hardware, and tracking software for real-time performance in either laboratory or outdoor environments. The ultimate goal is to produce a computationally efficient, end-to-end processing pipeline that exploits 3D data to maintain precise aimpoints on non-cooperative targets through turbulent atmospheres. The system must support integration into directed energy platforms and deliver both software algorithms and a validated hardware prototype capable of real-time operation, with emphasis on small business compliance under an SBIR/STTR mandate for entities under 500 employees.
