This is a market research Request for Information (RFI) from the Air Force to identify contractors capable of accelerating the development and prototyping of the SEDR waveform. The effort involves designing, developing, and testing waveform algorithms and functions, with tasks potentially worked in parallel with government and other support personnel. Work may include integration of prototype code into the Reference Implementation Lab and handling proprietary vendor-specific radio engineering activities. Responses to the RFI are due by 22 May 2026, with questions due by 7 May 2026. No budget amount or specific performance location is mentioned in the description.

The Air Force is seeking contractors to design, develop, and prototype algorithms and functions for waveforms, initially focusing on the SEDR waveform, to expand its capacity for waveform specification work. Tasks will involve cooperative development, analysis, and testing with government and other contractor personnel, including work on reference lab radios and potential proprietary vendor-specific engineering. The work may explore features such as the physical layer, network features, security, and hardware prototyping. This is a market research effort to understand vendor capabilities for a potential future solicitation.
