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

The Air Force seeks a vendor to develop the Advanced Nav‑War Open Air (ANOA) system through a three‑phase prototype effort. Vendors must submit a ≤10‑page whitepaper (electronic submission to Agreements Officer Greggory C. Jones by 5 May 2026, COB) organized into four sections: (1) a technical competency narrative demonstrating experience with high‑power RF, electronically steerable phased‑array antennas, advanced signal processing, and rugged, deployable system integration; (2) a clear statement granting the U.S. Government “unlimited rights” to all technical data and software; (3) compliance with 10 U.S.C. 4022; and (4) any additional required content. The project follows three milestones under 10 U.S.C. 4022: (a) Business Process Prototype – delivery of a detailed Statement of Work; (b) Proof‑of‑Concept Prototype – conceptual design, 60 % and 100 % design reviews, and delivery of one functional ANOA system; and (c) Operational‑Utility Prototype – optional delivery of seven additional ANOA systems and two spares upon successful completion of the prior phases. Access to the performance parameters (Attachment 1) is limited to vendors who have passed a NIST SP 800‑171 assessment, and all deliverables must conform to the Government‑approved SOW and quality plan. Unique requirements include the mandatory unlimited‑rights provision, the NIST security vetting, and the structured milestone‑based delivery schedule.
