Description
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) is seeking new and emerging technologies to integrate into their experimentation event, EXTiC 26-2. The event aims to find, vet, validate, and integrate technologies that align with CENTCOM's strategic technology priority areas. The focus areas include detection and early warning, ISR and target custody, adversarial EW and swarm threat emulation, integrated C2 and defeat layer, and resilience and sustainment layer. Interested parties are invited to submit a structured package for review, consisting of a whitepaper and a technology quad chart. The submissions will be assessed by a peer panel, and selected vendors may be invited to participate in a technical demonstration phase. The goal of the event is to accelerate the transition of capabilities from concept to the field and to strengthen the Joint Force's readiness for future conflict.
• The event will take place from 27-29 July 2026.
• The submission deadline is 5 May 2026.
• The Government may use assessments to determine whether a solution is suitable for award.
• The event will include scenario runs, daily coordination sessions, and a Distinguished Visitor Day.
