The U.S. Navy is seeking industry sources capable of designing, developing, and fielding next-generation unmanned carrier-based aircraft for operations from Ford-class and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. This effort supports the Air Wing of the Future Family of Systems strategy, including existing programs like MQ-25A. The government requests concepts for air vehicle and mission systems that can execute single-role, multi-role, or modular missions. Responses are due by 5:00 PM EST on 13 August 2026, limited to 10 pages and 20 slides, and must be submitted electronically to specified Navy contacts. No budget amount or performance location beyond carrier-based operations is specified.
