Request for Whitepapers: Advanced NAV-WAR Open Air (ANOA) System

The U.S. Air Force seeks a vendor to design, develop, and deliver a prototype Advanced NAV‑WAR Open Air (ANOA) system that creates a high‑power GNSS‑jamming environment for testing precision‑guided munitions in contested scenarios. The effort is divided into three prototype milestones: (1) a Business Process Prototype delivering a detailed Statement of Work; (2) a Proof‑of‑Concept Prototype with Conceptual Design, 60 % and 100 % design reviews, and delivery of one functional ANOA system; and (3) an Operational‑Utility Prototype (option) providing seven additional ANOA units and two spares, contingent on successful Business Process completion. Vendors must demonstrate technical competency in high‑power RF, electronically steerable phased‑array antennas, advanced signal processing, and rugged systems integration, and must agree to grant the Government “unlimited rights” to all technical data and software. Responses are limited to a 10‑page whitepaper submitted electronically to Agreements Officer Greggory C. Jones (greggory.jones.4@us.af.mil) no later than 5 May 2026, COB. The whitepaper must include (1) a narrative of technical expertise, (2) a clear IP‑rights statement, (3) proof‑of‑concept milestone plan, and (4) compliance with 10 U.S.C. 4022(d). Access to the performance‑parameter attachment requires a NIST SP 800‑171 assessment. Evaluation will consider technical merit, unlimited‑rights commitment, statutory compliance, and price; the Government may award any number of proposals. Non‑traditional defense contractors and 501(c)(3) non‑profits are eligible if they meet the defined criteria.
