This RFI is issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Technology Transition Office (TTO) for informational purposes to identify potential sources for intelligent and autonomous services to defeat swarm and complex UAS scenarios through comprehensive Air Base Air Defense (ABAD) coordination. They are seeking information on architectural frameworks and advanced software solutions, including Government Reference Architectures (GRAs) and intelligent AI agents, that contribute to an autonomous and adaptable point defense kill chain. Responses should focus on industry experience, lessons learned, and technical approaches regarding GRAs and autonomy AI data standards for multimodal sensing, optimal weapon-threat pairing, and kill chain automation. Information is also sought on intelligent and AI-enabled services capable of analyzing complex sensor feeds, recommending decisions, and managing defensive resources in highly automated ways. Respondents must provide specific information relevant to GRAs for point defense and intelligent services, autonomy, and AI agents. All responses must include tangible, existing capabilities or previously actively funded development efforts. The government does not expect to spend more than **** for the operational challenge. Responses are due two weeks after the posting of the RFI on the SAM website and should be submitted via email. Prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database.
