Request For Information and Industry Day Announcement - Modular Advanced Radio Architecture (MARA) Hardware Integration and Prototyping

Marine Corps Systems Command is seeking information from potential sources to satisfy its requirement for hardware integration and prototype development for the Modular Advanced Radio Architecture (MARA) effort. The main scope involves developing prototype components such as modular hardware chassis, software-defined radios, single board computers, cryptographic subsystems, and peripherals built on open-suite standards to provide resilient multi-waveform tactical communications. This technical effort requires a minimum of Government Purpose Rights for the technical data package and interface control documents, with work primarily centered in Quantico, Virginia. Eligible U.S. companies must register for the September 22, 2026, Industry Day and submit technical specification sheets for prototype capabilities to Robert Heric and Hyung Lee by September 4, 2026.
