Description
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has issued a five‑year framework announcement (2025‑2030) called “Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE)”. Under this umbrella, MDA may release individual solicitations covering a wide range of advanced missile‑defense technologies, from kinetic interceptors and AI‑enabled battle‑management to space‑based sensors and radiation‑effects testing. Each solicitation will define its own scope, award instrument (e.g., BAA, Other Transaction, CSO), funding level, and deadline. Interested firms must be SAM‑registered, able to handle unclassified or classified information as required, and comply with applicable cybersecurity (NIST 800‑171/CMMC) and export‑control regulations.
