Pyrophoric Device Demonstration

The Department of War’s Joint Services (U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, SOCOM, and AFSOC) are seeking an expendable pyrophoric countermeasure device that can be used independently or alongside existing onboard and off‑board countermeasures. The effort is to locate a new supplier capable of delivering a demonstrable pyrophoric device that meets current IR missile threat mitigation requirements. This solicitation calls for a demonstration of the device’s performance, integration potential, and compliance with existing countermeasure systems. • Provides an expendable, pyrophoric decoy (e.g., M211, MJU‑49/B, …) to protect aircraft from IR‑guided missiles. • Requires demonstration of effectiveness both as a stand‑alone system and in conjunction with existing countermeasure suites. • Seeks a new source for manufacturing and supplying the device to replace aging inventories. • Targets Joint Services aircraft across all branches, emphasizing multi‑layer missile defense. • Award will support further development and potential production scaling.
