Amendment 1:

This Amendment incorporates the Task Order 2 SOO Amendment, dated 14 July 2021. The previous version is obsolete. See attachment.

This is a Closed One-Step Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (without Calls) to solicit proposals for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Directed Energy Directorate (RD), High Power Electromagnetic Division (RDH), Advanced Electromagnetic Technology (AET) program.

The objective of the Electromagnetic Weapons Technologies Program is to investigate, develop, and ultimately transition new HPEM Weapon concepts, HPEM materials and components, and compact pulsed power topologies. The program will also evaluate and leverage advances in prime power technologies to optimize size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements for future weapon systems. Successful transition entails transitioning the new HPEM Weapon Concept into its own program, or incorporation/use of new HPEM components and materials into another HPEM Program.

The Full Text Announcement is included as an attachment. There will be no other announcement issued for this requirement. Offerors must monitor beta.SAM.gov in the event this BAA is amended.
