The Trusted and Elastic Military Platforms and Electronic Warfare (EW) System Technologies (TEMPEST) program is an Advanced Research Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under solicitation FA8650-20-S-1958. With an estimated program value of approximately 808 million dollars, the initiative seeks to develop methodologies, tools, and capabilities to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in avionics systems, protect against cyber-attacks, and expand open system architecture (OSA) standards for Air Force and Department of Defense weapon systems. The scope includes manned and unmanned vehicles, ISR systems, and electronic warfare components. This overarching announcement remains open for calls until March 31, 2027, and anticipates multiple awards through both FAR-based cost-reimbursement contracts and Other Transaction (OT) agreements. The program emphasizes high-security standards, requiring rigorous security risk reviews for all senior and key personnel under AFRLI 61-113 to manage foreign influence and protect science and technology information. Technical focus areas include RF simulation, modeling and simulation of electronic systems, and the integration of C4ISR capabilities. Proposals are evaluated based on a pass/fail selectability gate followed by weighted factors, with technical research and transition potential as the primary priority and cost realism as a secondary substantial factor. While this initial announcement establishes the framework, specific requirements, deliverables, and periods of performance will be defined on a case-by-case basis through individual calls.
