Description

The Department of Defense, through the Naval Sea Systems Command, is issuing a Request for Solutions (RFS) for the Prototyping Research and Operations for Tactical Electromagnetic Warfare and Advanced Networking (PROTEAN) project. This initiative aims to address the current lack of a demonstrated electromagnetic warfare (EW) and seeker payload framework, which hinders the technical evaluation and integration of various EW solutions onto unmanned platforms. The project is part of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) consortium, and interested vendors must be members of this consortium to participate. Responses to this opportunity are due by April 30, 2025, and inquiries can be directed to Judy Blanton at judith.a.blanton3.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 812-381-7156.
