Request for Information (RFI) for Aerial Targets Branch (EBAY) Air Force Aerial Target Solutions
Solicitation # FA8678-26-AFSAT-R0001
The Department of the Air Force, through the Aerial Targets Program Office (AFLCMC/EBAY), issued Request for Information FA8678-26-AFSAT-R0001 to conduct market research and acquisition planning for a family of aerial target systems. In accordance with Title 10 U.S. Code Section 4172, these systems must replicate the performance, signatures, and countermeasures of adversary aircraft to validate the lethality of major munitions and missile programs. The government is seeking a broad spectrum of solutions across three tiers: Tier 1 for high-end reusable subscale to full-scale targets, Tier 2 for attritable mid-tier targets, and Tier 3 for low-cost expendable targets, ranging from hobby drones to advanced fighter aircraft. The primary objective of this RFI is to identify commercially available or near-term solutions and gather rough order of magnitude cost estimates for unit production, non-recurring engineering, and operations and sustainment. Technical requirements emphasize the need for flight termination resources for range safety and command and control systems encrypted to NIST FIPS 140-2 level 1 or higher. Interested industry partners were requested to submit white papers including technical narratives, one-page datasheets, and modeling and simulation capabilities. This effort is intended to inform future budgetary requirements and assist the agency in making commerciality, non-developmental item, and small business set-aside determinations.
