RFI for USSOCOM Rapid Experimentation of Prototyping Technology in Learning Environments 26-1

The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is seeking technology experimentation nominations for the Rapid Experimentation of Prototyping Technology in Learning Environments (REPTILE) event. The event will be held from 08-18 SEP 2026 in Gulfport, MS, and will focus on Counter-Unmanned-Systems (CUxS) capabilities. USSOCOM is looking for man-portable and manpackable CUxS systems that can detect, track, classify, and neutralize unmanned aerial threats. The systems should be able to operate in a simulated Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) combat environment. Some key features of the desired CUxS systems include: • Fully integrated detection and engagement capabilities • Early warning systems • Semiautonomous and autonomous platforms • Counter-fiberoptic and counter FPV capabilities • Ability to detect, track, and classify very low flying UAS • Active radar capable of mitigating ground clutter • Optics capable of ATR and tracking in cluttered backgrounds • Integration into existing C2 systems • Electromagnetic hardened systems capable of operating in contested EM environments • Low collateral effectors • Electromagnetic protection systems capable of detecting, characterizing, and geolocating EMI
