Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Consortium. Interested parties may visit S2MARTS.org for membership information.

2.2 PROJECT OVERVIEW

Currently, there is no demonstrated EW and seeker payload framework that allows vendors to bring their capabilities for technical evaluation and integration onto unmanned platforms, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of various EW solutions. In addition, the project will address technical integration challenges, lack of standardization, insufficient testing and evaluation, inadequate transition path, operational effectiveness and limited innovation.
