The Department of the Army is seeking prototype technologies for spectrum-enabled warfare through its xTech-powered competition, led by G-TEAD in partnership with USAREUR-AF. - Government buyer: Department of the Army, including the U.S. Army FUZE Program and Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD), in partnership with U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF). - Requested capability areas: - Electromagnetic support and tactical surveillance in contested electromagnetic environments. - Autonomous network management for contested electromagnetic and connected cyberspace environments. - Electromagnetic-environment visualization and battle-damage assessment tools. - Prototypes should support coalition interoperability, contested RF and cyber operations, Soldier usability, and maintenance at the tactical edge. Testing is expected with Army units in realistic field conditions, with user feedback informing rapid iteration. - The effort also calls for technology transition and commercialization planning for Department of War and commercial markets. - No specific commercial OEMs, vendors, part numbers, or fixed quantities are identified. The capability tracks are requested areas, not specified purchasable products. - The attachment describes a Direct-to-Phase II effort with a 12–18 month period and a cost limit of up to $2,000,000. CMMC Level 2 (Self) is specified; the initial notice also states that only competition finalists or winners may submit an SBIR proposal.
