Multi-Spectrum Defensive Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA)

Description

MSDEW ARA will develop sensors and systems supplies to meet the need for the national defense for improved joint lethality in contested environments, the ability to strike diverse targets inside adversary air and missile defense networks, and support a force which can deploy, survive, operate, maneuver, and regenerate in all domains while under attack. The program advances the Air Force EW (signal) capabilities to meet the need for the national defense and requires acquisition of aeronautical supplies, parts, accessories and designs for experimental and test purposes. These above strategic objectives will be accomplished through design, modeling, simulation and analysis (MS&A), experimentation, testing, and demonstration of multi-spectrum threat warning and countermeasures sensors, systems and technologies. This ARA will be open for Calls through 13 Jul 2027. UPDATED April 2026: This solicitation update is for annual administrative updates and also updates all FAR/DFARS references to now reference Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO/R-DFARS) references. UPDATED April 2025: This soliciation update removes references to an announcement level Model Contract as Model Contracts will be issued at the Call level. This update also makes minor administrative updates to the announcement. UPDATED November 2024: This solicitation update removes all references to Call 01 as that call is closed; extends the close date for the ARA for two years until 13 Jul 2027; adds the Security Risk Review - AFRLI 61-113 and appendices; and updates the primary and second points of contact (POCs).
