Description
The Federal Aviation Administration is hosting a three‑day Industry Engagement Event (October 13‑15, 2026) to collect information on commercial solutions capable of detecting, characterizing, and reporting spectrum interference that could affect aviation‑dependent systems. This effort is purely informational (RFI) and will not result in an immediate contract award; however, responses may influence future acquisition phases and one‑on‑one vendor sessions.
• Purpose: Identify existing or near‑term technologies for real‑time RF interference detection across all aviation bands.
• Requirements: Vendors must submit a brief (≤7‑page) survey describing their solution, capabilities, TRL, ROM, and potential role (developer, integrator, etc.).
• Event Structure: October 13 – open Industry Engagement Day; October 14‑15 – optional classified or unclassified one‑on‑one sessions at The MITRE Corporation, McLean, VA.
• Deadline: Registration (including survey upload) must be completed by 2 Oct 2026; questions about the RFI are due by 18 Sep 2026.
• Outcome: FAA will use the gathered data to shape future market research and potential procurement strategies, but no contract is guaranteed.
