Request for Information (RFI): Fire Control Sensor Market Availability
The U.S. Army is conducting market research to identify sources for a small, lightweight, and affordable sensor system capable of tracking both outbound projectiles and inbound Group 1 and 2 small UAS threats. The system must be suitable for stationary and on-the-move operations on various Army ground combat vehicles, including the HMMWV, Bradley, Stryker, Abrams, JLTV, and next-generation vehicles. Key technical requirements include self-cued detection and tracking of multiple UAS at ranges of at least 1000m, simultaneous tracking of outbound projectiles, and provision of fire-control quality data for hit-to-kill engagements. The sensor must not exceed 30 inches in any plane and 70 lbs in weight, with a desired capability to track multiple threats and support multiple weapon systems. Responses are due by 09 July 2026, and interested parties should submit a white paper limited to 15 pages, including an executive summary, technology readiness level justification, performance predictions, and cost projections.
