The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Directed Energy Directorate (RD), High Power Electromagnetics (HPEM) Division (RDH), Kirtland AFB New Mexico, is the Air Force's Center of Excellence for research in HPEM technology and functions as the Air Force Material Command's center for HPEM technology development, prototyping, demonstration, and support. Future HPEM weapons potentially contribute a unique capability for the Air Force to control and dominate the electromagnetic spectrum for a variety of warfare options. Military and civilian systems, both domestic and international, increasingly rely on sophisticated electronics and cyber access and control at some level. The goals of the Applications Branch (AFRL/RDHA) are two-fold: 1) to promote projects, research, scientific studies providing high payoff research and development leading to advances in HPEM science and technology; and 2) demonstrate and mature technologies in preparation for insertion into programs of record.

The objective of MJ LNIR is to procure a single, near-production representative, cost-effective counter-unmanned aerial system (cUAS) that is suited to operational environments and performs at levels equal to or greater than AFRL's existing Tactical High-Power Microwave Operational Responder (THOR) cUAS prototype. This prototype development intends to capitalize on earlier high-power microwave (HPM) systems and enable future transition to a program of record.

Access to MJ NLIR Bidder's Library may be requested and approved/provided by the Government.

REQUESTS FOR ACCESS TO THE MJ LNIR BIDDER'S LIBRARY MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 12:00 P.M. MOUNTAIN TIME ON 11 AUGUST 2021.

Full technical and business/cost proposals must be submitted in response to this Call no later than 12:00 p.m., Mountain Time, 13 September 2021.
