AI Contract Overview
The Project Manager Electromagnetic Warfare and Collection (PM EW&C) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation W56KGY-26-R-0099 to identify innovative and mature Electromagnetic Support (ES) and Electromagnetic Attack (EA) manpack capabilities. The government is seeking solutions with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6 or higher to equip Brigade Electromagnetic Warfare Teams for Multi-Domain Operations. The scope focuses on five specific operational tracks: dismounted EW systems with wearable sensors, modular platform and vehicle integration, AI/ML-driven cognitive EW software, remote unattended ground sensors, and sUAS integration for aerial payloads. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not commit the government to a contract or the purchase of any services. Interested parties must submit a white paper not exceeding four pages by September 30, 2026, to the designated email address. The information gathered from these submissions is intended to inform potential production contract awards projected for early to mid-Fiscal Year 2028. The effort falls under NAICS code 334220 and PSC 5865, with the primary point of contact being Contracting Officer Raymond Bailey.

Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future program actions, if any are issued.
DESCRIPTION. The Government is seeking innovative, mature (TRL 6+) Electromagnetic Support (ES) and Electromagnetic Attack (EA) capabilities to equip Brigade Electromagnetic Warfare Teams for Multi-Domain Operations.
To ensure freedom of maneuver in the electromagnetic spectrum, the Government requires lightweight, ruggedized, and highly extensible solutions across five target operational tracks:
(1) Dismounted EW Systems featuring wearable sensors and on-the-move detection, geolocation, and disruption capabilities designed for MOS-agnostic Soldiers.
(2) Platform and Vehicle Integration for modular, mounted operations and robust command and control.
(3) Cognitive EW Software delivering hardware-agnostic, AI/ML-driven threat adaptation and rapid reprogramming.
(4) Unattended Ground Sensors for remote, persistent RF detection and targeted electronic attack.
(5) sUAS Integration utilizing hot-swappable aerial payloads for stand-off reconnaissance, cyber effects, and electronic defeat.
RESPONSES. It is anticipated that the information and solutions gathered from this
request will directly inform and lead to potential production contract award(s) projected
for early to mid-Fiscal Year 2028 (FY28). Please send all responses to:
contact@example.gov.
White Papers must be received by 30 September 2026 for consideration. Additionally,
White Paper submissions shall be no longer than 4 pages total. To aid the Government,
