PEO-TIS UxV Payloads against Modern Signals Submit NLT 01 July 2026 11:59 PM ET U.S. Citizens Only Purpose SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM Program Executive Office Tactical Information Systems (PEO-TIS), will host a series of events to identify potential equipment for participation in the further evaluation of market information and/or ascertain potential market capacity to provide products and services consistent in scope and scale with those described in this notice. The purpose of this effort is to identify potential qualified sources and to explore industry capabilities specific to Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) sensors and related equipment pertaining to the Key Interest Areas listed below. Key Interest Areas with the focus of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) mountable single payloads that process and geolocate ELINT in complex maritime environments. Payloads optimized for small Unmanned Vessels Payloads that are low size, weight and power operating across austere conditions Payloads shall operate in GPS denied, low bandwidth comms, counter-detection/ signature management, mission autonomy, etc. Payloads and antennas shall operate in a maritime environment across various emitter types and polarization Payloads that are USSOCOM modular payload standard compliant/aligned are desirable but not required Payloads that can process information and/or reprogrammable with target emitters at the tactical edge Background/Synopsis USSOCOM operates in rapidly evolving threat environments and market research helps the command stay aware of emerging payload technologies that could provide near-term tactical advantage on unmanned platforms. Because SOF missions demand low-SWaP, high-performance, and versatile solutions, capability demonstrations allow USSOCOM to identify industry offerings that can meet operational requirements under realistic conditions. These activities ensure USSOCOM invests in technologies that are mature, relevant, and ready for accelerated transition reducing risk while expanding the range of payload options available to SOF teams across air, ground, and maritime UxVs. Objective The objective is to discover solutions and facilitate a capabilities demonstration to identify small-form-factor payloads that align with real-world CONOPs, threat environments, and platform constraints. This effort is designed to map the competitive and technological landscape, revealing where industry solutions already exist, where innovation is needed, and how to differentiate capabilities in a crowded UxV ecosystem. Capabilities will be evaluated against the following criteria: Detect, classify and localize the target emitter in a dense maritime environment at extended ranges or stand-off distances The system's localization accuracy The system classification accuracy of target emitter The system to conduct the detection, classification and localization with minimal human int…
