SUMMARY:DI Tech Showcase - Counter UAS Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview: DITS CUAS_Event Wrapper_Updated\n\nAt a Glance \n\nEvent: DI Tech Showcase – Counter-UAS Technology Call for Interest\nFormat: Hybrid | Invitation‑Only\nFocus: Innovative technologies supporting the Find\, Fix\, Track\, Target\, and Engage (F2T2EA) workflow against Group 1 UAS in complex and contested environments\nWhen: 22-25 June (tentative)\nWho Should Participate: small businesses\, academia\, research institutions & federal labs\nWhy Participate: to be considered for future AFRL collaboration opportunities\, including potential white paper submission\, technical evaluation\, or follow‑on engagements.\nSubmission Deadline: NLT 22 April 2026 at 1700 CST\nVendor / Organization Notifications (anticipated): 4 May\n\n\nOverview:\nDoolittle\, in partnership with AFRL at Eglin Air Force Base\, is seeking information from U.S.-based organization developing innovative solutions that support the Find\, Fix\, Track\, Target\, and Engage (F2T2EA) workflow against Group 1 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operating in cluttered\, complex\, and contested environments. \nThis Call for Interest is intended to identify relevant capabilities and support government review and down-selection for participation in the DI Tech Showcase (DITS) – Counter UAS\, a four-day hybrid event planned for 22–25 June. Selected vendors will present their submitted technologies to a panel of government SMEs for evaluation and feedback. \nGovernment SMEs will observe presentations\, engage with vendors\, and provide technical feedback throughout the event. Selected organizations will be invited to submit a White Paper against the existing BAA.\n\nTechnologies of Interest \n\nHardware – Physical components supporting counter-UAS operations\, including modular or mobile systems\nSoftware – Algorithms\, autonomy\, analytics\, or tools that support the F2T2EA workflow\nSensors – Technologies for detecting\, tracking\, or characterizing Group 1 UAS in cluttered or contested environments\nEffectors – modular\, updatable\, and capable of operating in complex and contested environments\nIntegrated systems – Solutions combining multiple counter‑UAS capabilities into a unified system supporting the full F2T2EA workflow\n\nCandidate solutions should be modular\, updatable\, target‑agnostic\, and effective in static and mobile scenarios. \n\nWho Should Submit Interest:\nOrganizations that meet the following criteria are encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest: \nUser‑Maintainable\, Modular Solutions: Candidate technologies should be user maintainable\, modular\, repairable\, re‑configurable\, and updatable whenever feasible. Leveraging Modular Open Systems Approaches (MOSA) and Open Systems Software Architectures is desired. \nU.S.-Based Organizations: Interested organizations must be U.S.-based\, employ a U.S.-citizen workforce\, and have no significant OCONUS interests\, obligations\, or foreign ownership. \nDisclosure of Existing Relationships: Organizations must disclose any existing partnerships\, research agreements\, joint ventures\, or active contractual obligations with the DoD\, DHS\, or other Federal Government entities. \n\nSubmission Details (Submissions Closed; Vendor Selections Finalized)\nUpdate: The submission requirements have been revised to include a one-page capability summary. \nSubmitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) enables your organization to be considered for potential inclusion in future Tech Showcase activities. As part of the updated submission process\, organizations are now required to provide: \n\nA complete EOI form | Counter-UAS – Tech Showcase – Fill out form\nA one-page capability summary (publicly releasable\, Distro A) outlining your technology\, maturity\, and relevance to the Counter-UAS Tech Showcase\n\nPlease name your file according to the following format: CompanyName_DITS_Month_Topic (Example: DoolittleInstitute_DITS_May_CUAS) \nSubmit responses or direct inquiries to: techtransfer@doolittleinstitute.org \nOrganizations that have already submitted an EOI will be contacted with instructions to provide the additional capability summary. \nNote: Submissions are intended to capture high-level technical insight to support Government review and down-selection. Participation is not guaranteed and will be based on evaluation outcomes. Selected participants may be invited to present at the CUI level. \nExpress Your Interest\n\nImportant Dates\n\nFull Submission Deadline: 22 April 2026 at 1700 CST\nHybrid Tech Showcase: 22-25 June \nVendor / Organization Notifications (anticipated): 4 May\n\nDates are subject to adjustment based on government review and scheduling. \nPoints of Contact: \nFor questions\, or clarifications regarding submissions\, please contact:  techtransfer@doolittleinstitute.org \nParticipation in the showcase is by invitation only and based on review of submitted information.
