The purpose of this RFI is to solicit nominations for ruggedized chemical and biological (CB) developmental prototypes for inclusion in CBOA 26. CBOA is a collaborative field experiment that will place technologies into the hands of Warfighters to facilitate exploration of innovative solutions to understand, protect against, and mitigate CB threats. Technology prototypes will be assessed with direct Warfighter feedback, considered in the context of realistic missions and operational tasks. Technology developers will receive feedback directly from Warfighters during the events and a summary report of data collected as well as Warfighter findings and observations after the events.

Dates/Location: 21-27 March 2026, Camp Dawson, West Virginia
