Solicitation # CHORUS26

The Air Force Research Laboratory Tech Transition Office, in coordination with the Information and Spectrum Warfare Directorate, is conducting market research via solicitation CHORUS26 to identify domestic US-only vendors capable of providing radar Electronic Attack (EA) capabilities for Group 2-3 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The government is exploring two primary pathways: integrated Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) or Non-Developmental Item (NDI) systems, and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) modular enablers such as RF System on Chip (RFSoC) technology, high-speed analog-to-digital converters, and edge compute chips. These technologies must operate across HF, VHF/UHF, L, S, C, and X bands while adhering to strict Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) constraints and aligning with Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) and OMS open standards. This effort is a Request for Information (RFI) for planning purposes and does not currently constitute a request for proposal or a commitment to award a contract. The program targets a development window of three to four years, with physical prototyping and demonstrations expected by the second or third year. Interested domestic businesses must submit unclassified responses by November 6, 2026, including a rough order of magnitude for costs and a technical summary of their capabilities. Participation is strictly limited to US-only businesses and citizens, requiring full compliance with ITAR and EAR regulations, with a total prohibition on foreign national involvement in any phase of development or evaluation.
