Proposals must follow a specific format (two volumes: technical and management, and cost) and address various criteria, including risk assessment, software development, and management plans. The final demonstration will utilize the White Sands Missile Range and the RQ4 Global Hawk. The total amount anticipated to be awarded in Phase 1 is up to $33 million across multiple performers.
