Description
The United States Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office is conducting market research to identify existing solutions for an on-demand manufacturing capability for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) that can operate in remote and austere environments. The desired capability should be able to produce UASs near the point of need, reducing reliance on traditional supply chains. Key requirements include supply chain and compliance, physical footprint and transport, power and environmental controls, system quality and maintainability, and cybersecurity and data management.
• The capability should conform to DCMA Blue List compatible type architecture and comply with NDAA FY2020 Section 848.
• The system should be transportable via tactical truck, strategic airlift, tactical airlift, cargo ship, and helicopter sling-load.
• The system should be able to operate in a wide range of temperatures and meet Class/Division hazardous location standards.
• The system should have an open system architecture and be able to ingest standard files locally.
• The system should have secure data ingest and storage, and comply with Supply Chain Risk Management requirements.
