Rapid Prototype Rapid Development (RPRD) Software Question and Answer (Q&A)

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is seeking sources to provide mature, production-ready software solutions for Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) to support Group 2 and Group 3 platforms. The desired software must be deployable within 6 months of contract award and meet specific Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and Key System Attributes (KSAs), including system security, cybersecurity, vehicle command and control, autonomy, and exportability. The software solution must be compatible with existing Air Force sUAS platforms and comply with all applicable DoD regulations and policies. Key features of the software include: • System Security and Anti-Tamper Protection • Cybersecurity • Vehicle Command and Control in Flight • Autonomy for Swarming • Exportability to Foreign Countries • Autonomy (Flight Path, Area Loitering, and Target Identification) • Common Control Software (Operator to Operator) • Data Link and Radio • Open Architecture Interface
