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.
