The Air Force Research Laboratory is seeking white papers and proposals for research, development, and testing of directed energy technologies, including lasers and high-power electromagnetics, to support national defense. Work will be performed at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, and may involve field trials at other locations. The overarching announcement has no set budget ceiling, though individual task orders may specify funding amounts. The announcement is open-ended with no specified end date, and awards will be made on a rolling basis. Multiple awards are anticipated, with over $353 million in combined awards already issued since the program began in 2021.

This is an open, ongoing announcement from the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland AFB, NM, seeking white papers and proposals for research, development, and testing of directed energy technologies across nine broad topic areas. The program uses a flexible hybrid process where white papers can be submitted at any time to an open announcement, and specific Calls with varying submission types may also be issued. The overarching announcement has no specified budget ceiling, but individual Calls may provide estimated values. The period of performance for any award will be determined through discussions with the government for each specific topic.
