UNMANNED VEHICLE
NRL needs contractor support for designing prototype electromagnetic weapons systems and to evaluate RF and millimeter wave effects and technologies.
The General Atomics detect-and-avoid system for the Reaper UAV uses the company's air-to-air radar (ATAR) and a detect-and-avoid software algorithm.
The AN/DAS-4 MTS enables mission commanders to use high-definition data from an airborne tactical sensor to identify and engage targets.
DEFENSE EXECUTIVE
Northrop Grumman was originally selected for a four-year contract by the AFRL as part of Defense Experimentation Using Commercial Space Internet (DEUCSI) Call 003 program – also known by its nickname "Global Lightning."
Instead of passing through an opening in the boat's pressure hull, signals from photonics mast sensors enter the submarine via optical fiber.
Cummins Rugged Mobile Power (RMP) generators are versions of the company's Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) generator for military uses.
ELECTRONIC WARFARE
DRFM provides coherent time delay of RF signals in radar and EW, and can replay a radar pulse with a small delay to make the target appear to move.
Project involves an AI- and machine learning-enabled common EW sensor-effectuator for future tactical AI, machine learning, cyber warfare, and EW.

The VPX3U-A2000E-FGX2-COAX module includes an NVIDIA RTX™ A2000 embedded GPU and a WOLF FGX2 for 4K video I/O in a rugged 3U VPX module. This airflow through module includes new 75 Ohm coaxial connectors to support high bandwidth 4K video. The module uses the new VITA 65.1 slot profile 14.6.11-16 defined in the 2023 revision of the standard, which features two of the new rugged connectors.

AN/BLQ-10 provides automatic detection, classification, localization, and identification of enemy radar and communications signals at sea.
EMBEDDED
Primary challenges involve managing AI for command, control communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) in the presence of the enemy.
CSfC listing ensures military and government agencies seeking high data security levels to protect sensitive data with pre-boot single-layer security.
Front-loaded ATR has six slots for VITA 48.2 3U OpenVPX boards, one slot for a VITA 62 power supply, and optical and RF interfaces on the backplane.
TRUSTED COMPUTING
Accenture Federal will handle design, architecture, testing, production, delivery, installation support, and integrated logistics support.
Project involves space battle management, space data analytic tools for large networks; artificial intelligence (AI), and inter-satellite links.
The future fight needs interoperability across operating domains, a cohesive infrastructure, and a departure from pre-planned information transport.
