Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Armaments Center (AC), is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Human Machine Integrated Formations (HMIF) Integration Enabling Technologies. This RFI seeks sources for software and hardware technologies to enable modular, multi-mission configurable supervised autonomous armament packages for integration onto manned or unmanned platforms. Responses are due by March 1, 2026, 3:00 p.m. EST.
Scope of Work
The RFI is interested in technologies that support:
- Assured Armaments Reference Architecture (AARA) and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) for supervised autonomous armaments, including common internal/external interfaces and hardware/software/electrical systems for mounting and integration.
- Safety-assured control hardware and software for wired or wireless supervised autonomous armament systems, with a focus on MIL-STD-882 E compliance.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) autonomy enabling technologies and safeguards, potentially from other sectors, to reduce manual user input/cognitive load, improve visualizations, generate dynamic keep-out zones, enhance target tracking/prioritization, and implement tactical tasks/behaviors.
- Integration of Aided Target Recognition (AiTR) into weapons station controls architecture for identifying and cueing known/suspected threats, and real-time object detection/classification from various data sources.
Submission Requirements
Interested businesses should submit a brief capabilities statement (maximum ten 8.5 X 11 inch pages, 10-point font minimum) detailing their technology and current Technology Readiness Level (TRL)/Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL). If subcontracting or teaming is anticipated, the administrative and management structure of such arrangements should be addressed. Submissions must be in Microsoft Word or PDF format.
