Sources Sought: Call For Technology Independent Verification &Validation (IV&V) 27-1: Spectrum Proof

Notice ID:IVV271

This sources sought seeks technologies for the Spectrum Proof IV&V experimentation event, focusing on electromagnetic warfare capabilities that integrate across five verticals to support a Mobile Brigade Combat Team in contested environments. The event is projected to take place from 02 November through 06 November 2026 at Fort Knox, Kentucky, with selected technologies potentially invited to a follow-on experimentation event in the EUCOM theater in 3QFY27. Submissions will be assessed by a peer panel for technical maturity, mission threat alignment, and integration potential, and those deemed "awardable" may be eligible for further research, prototyping, or production under federal contracting authorities. The government will not reimburse any costs incurred in responding to this announcement, and respondents are solely technology demonstrators to avoid organizational conflicts of interest. No budget amounts are specified for this opportunity.

Sources Sought: Call For Technology Independent Verification &Validation (IV&V) 27-1: Spectrum Proof

Notice ID:IVV271

The US Army V Corps and Defense Innovation Unit are seeking submissions for the Spectrum Proof experiment, an IV&V event focused on finding and integrating new electromagnetic warfare (EW) technologies to support the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative. The experiment will be held from November 2–6, 2026, at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Technologies must align with one or more verticals: electromagnetic support/surveillance, common services, and electromagnetic attack—with submissions evaluated for maturity, integration potential, and mission relevance. Selected technologies may be integrated into the event and later considered for a follow-on operational experiment in the EUCOM theater in the third quarter of fiscal year 2027. No budget amounts are specified, and the government will not reimburse any costs incurred in responding.
