Request for Information - Small Uncrewed Aerial System (sUAS) Capabilities

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is issuing an RFI to gather market information on small uncrewed aerial system (sUAS) capabilities across five distinct lines of effort (LOEs): hardware, software, communications, sensors, and kinetics. The effort supports five mission concepts—Long‑Range One‑Way Attack, Air Interdiction, Medium‑Range OWA, Air‑Launched Effects, and Medium‑Range ISR. Responses will help shape future solicitations and identify potential vendors capable of delivering production‑ready sUAS solutions within a six‑month fielding window. • Identify existing or near‑commercial sUAS platforms and related technologies for Groups 1‑3 (up to 1,320 lb). • Provide technical details on hardware, software, communications, sensor suites, and kinetic payloads, including performance, security, and autonomy attributes. • Demonstrate recent experience (within 12 months) and projected production rates (standard and surge) for the next 24 months. • Confirm eligibility criteria such as small‑business status, past DoD contracts, SAM registration, and export‑control compliance. • Submit responses by the stated deadline to inform AFLCMC’s upcoming procurement strategy.
