# FAA Seeks Aviation Spectrum Detection Solutions

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will hold an industry day on October 13–15, 2026, to gather market information on technologies that detect, characterize, and help manage radio-frequency interference affecting aviation systems. The event location was not specified, and the FAA states that this market research does not commit the agency to a procurement. The event is 13 days away as of September 30, 2026.

- Contractors with RF sensing, analytics, distributed sensor-network, or aviation systems-integration capabilities can use the industry day to explain solution maturity and potential roles.
- The FAA is interested in capabilities such as interference monitoring and characterization; companies should be prepared to discuss acquisition options, including service-based purchasing.
- Because this is market research rather than a solicitation or award, participation offers an opportunity to inform the FAA’s understanding of available solutions, but does not guarantee a future contract.
