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 SATURN Enhanced Data Rate (SEDR) waveform— a second‑generation anti‑jam tactical UHF radio for NATO. Respondents must demonstrate expertise in software‑defined radio (SDR) development, waveform engineering (including anti‑jamming, low‑probability‑of‑intercept/detect, SATCOM, Link‑16, etc.), and the ability to address a range of technical areas such as physical‑layer design, Mobile Ad‑Hoc Network (MANET) features, IP interface issues, COMSEC, TRANSEC, modeling and simulation, hardware prototyping, and information‑assurance boundary concerns. Additional required information includes JITC testing and certification experience, corporate details (CAGE, DUNS, NAICS 334220, size classification, existing ID/IQ or BPA vehicles), and identification of any proprietary work products, which must be clearly marked for protection. 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. The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred in preparing the RFI response, will not provide feedback on submissions, and will treat all proprietary information in accordance with applicable regulations. This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation.
