Request for Information - Accelerated Development of the Second Generation Anti-Jam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO (SATURN) Enhanced Data Rate (SEDR) Waveform

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Aerial Networks Division (AFLCMC/C3N) is conducting market research to identify qualified “SEDR acceleration” contractors capable of designing, developing, and prototyping key algorithms and functions for the Second‑Generation Anti‑Jam Tactical UHF Radio (SATURN) Enhanced Data Rate (SEDR) waveform. Respondents must demonstrate experience with general software‑defined radio (SDR) development, specific military‑grade SDR hardware platforms, and a range of waveforms (e.g., anti‑jam, low‑probability‑of‑intercept/detect, SATCOM, Link‑16). The effort may include work on the physical layer, Mobile Ad‑Hoc Network (MANET) features, IP interface issues, COMSEC, TRANSEC, modeling and simulation, hardware prototyping, and information‑assurance boundary concerns. Vendors are also required to detail any Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification experience, provide corporate data (CAGE, DUNS, NAICS 334220, small‑business status, ID/IQ or BPA vehicles), and identify key personnel for discussions. Responses are to be submitted in a vendor‑selected format no later than 20 April 2026, 1:00 PM EDT, by email to Capt. Velia Colunga (velia.colunga.1@us.af.mil) and contracting specialist Aidan Nugent (aidan.nugent@us.af.mil). Questions must be received by 31 March 2026, 4:00 PM EDT; later questions may not be answered. All proprietary information must be clearly marked and will be protected per applicable regulations. The RFI is for information only; the Government will not reimburse any costs, is under no obligation to award a contract, and no solicitation currently exists.
