    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Program Executive Office Aviation (PEO Aviation) and Project Manager Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (PM UAS), is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for affordable Launched Effects (LE) systems. These attritable unmanned systems, designed for deployment from airborne or ground platforms, will perform critical missions such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare, communications relay, and strike, operating autonomously in collaborative teams. The initiative aims to rapidly procure and field interoperable, modular LE systems to enhance the Army's capabilities, with a directive to equip every Army Division and Multi Domain Task Force by 2026. Interested vendors must submit detailed proposals that meet specified priority capabilities, including EO/IR DILR, inert lethal payloads, and autonomous execution, with initial awards prioritized for those who can deliver within 4-6 months of the agreement. For further inquiries, vendors can contact Mark Martinez at mark.martinez2.civ@army.mil or Jordan Myers at jordan.m.myers7.civ@army.mil.

    PM UAS_Challenge_Launched Effects Integration 20250728.pdf
    The US Army's Program Executive Office Aviation (PEO Aviation) and Project Manager Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (PM UAS) are seeking proposals from qualified vendors for affordable Launched Effects (LE) systems. These attritable unmanned systems, deployed from airborne or ground platforms, are designed for missions such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare, communications relay, and strike, operating autonomously in networked, collaborative teams. The objective is to rapidly procure and field interoperable, modular LE systems, including air vehicles, payloads, launchers, and ground elements, along with a fully supported Program of Instruction (POI) for operator training. The Army aims to address the current lack of LE inventory for soldier evaluation in tactical environments, with a directive to field these systems to every Army Division and Multi Domain Task Force by 2026. Priority capabilities include EO/IR DILR, inert lethal payloads, 40km operating range, full mission preplanning and dynamic re-tasking, autonomous execution, collision avoidance, and digital training products. Vendors must propose solutions that meet these priority criteria, demonstrating innovation and compressed schedules, and should provide detailed proposals outlining their technical approach, past performance, manufacturing capabilities, cost estimates, and delivery schedules.
