Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System Increment II Cargo UAS Industry Demonstration

Solicitation # NAWCAD-SN-26-TRUASII

The Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager for Robotic and Autonomous Systems 4.0, Air Warfare Program Management Office, is seeking industry participants for the Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) Increment II Cargo UAS industry demonstration. Scheduled for January 25 through February 5, 2027, in Huntsville, Alabama, this event aims to identify unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and enabling technologies to support the Marine Corps Unmanned Logistics System – Air (ULS-A) mission for last-mile tactical distribution in expeditionary environments. The government is inviting applications from all qualified participants, including small businesses and non-traditional defense contractors, provided they are U.S. citizens or companies with U.S.-based offices. Participants must demonstrate a UAS with a maximum gross take-off weight of up to 350 lbs that can perform specific autonomous flight missions. These include a 40 nautical mile round trip with a 100 lb payload and a 10 nautical mile round trip with at least a 150 lb payload, both without refueling. Systems must maintain an airspeed of at least 50 knots, operate below 1,000 feet AGL, and launch and recover without mechanical assistance. Technical requirements include FIPS 140-3 Level 2 radio encryption, compliance with MIL-STD461G and MIL-STD464C, and the ability to operate in degraded environments using alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions. Selection for the demonstration is based on a white paper and questionnaire evaluated against a specific rubric focusing on country of origin, weight, range, payload capacity, and unit cost. Successful performance during the demonstration may lead to the award of an Other Transaction (OT) prototype agreement under 10 U.S.C. section 4022, which could potentially result in a follow-on production contract without further competition. To be eligible for such an award, selectees must join the Naval Aviation Systems Consortium (NASC). Applications are due by November 30, 2026.

AI Contract Overview

The Missile Defense Agency, on behalf of the United States Space Force Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (SCAR) Program Office, is soliciting solutions to modernize Ground Entry Point and Network Operations Center capabilities. This effort aims to revitalize the Satellite Control Network by procuring modernized antennas to provide robust Telemetry, Tracking, and Commanding support across all orbital regimes. The procurement is structured as a Two Phase Closed Variant Commercial Solutions Opening, utilizing Prototype Other Transaction Agreements or FAR-based firm-fixed price contracts. The government is seeking solutions across three Areas of Interest: Rapid Fielding of TT&C Capabilities, Leased Commercial Antenna Capacity, and Antenna as a Service. The evaluation process consists of two phases, where Phase 1 focuses on the merit of a proposed concept via a white paper and Phase 2 involves a full proposal including a self-drafted Statement of Work. Technical merit and importance to program requirements are the primary evaluation factors, carrying substantially more weight than price. Security requirements vary by Area of Interest; specifically, AOI 1 requires offerors to possess a Secret facility security clearance and a valid U.S. security clearance at the time of white paper submission. Additionally, access to controlled unclassified information in the Offeror's Library requires a CMMC Level II Self-Assessment and, for export-controlled data, an active DD Form 2345. All submissions must be electronic, with white papers due by October 15, 2026.
