Opportunities
Active Key Operational Problems seeking solutions from JRFA member companies.
Autonomous Perimeter Security System
JRFA / OUSW-R&E
This is an Open Challenge seeking innovative solutions for autonomous perimeter security at Forward Operating Bases (FOBs). Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Expeditionary Communications Relay
JRFA / PEO C3T
Seeking rapidly deployable, mesh-capable communications relay solutions for disconnected or contested environments.
AI-Powered Threat Intelligence Fusion
JRFA / INSCOM
Automated fusion and prioritization of multi-source intelligence feeds for tactical-level decision support.
Counter-UAS Electronic Warfare System
JRFA / PM EW&C
Portable electronic warfare system for detection, tracking, and defeat of small unmanned aerial systems in the tactical environment.
Autonomous & AI-Enabled Contested Logistics for Distributed Operations
JRFA / USTRANSCOM / Joint Logistics Enterprise (JLEnt)
This is an Open Challenge with rolling reviews under the Joint Rapid Fielding Activity (JRFA) marketplace, sponsored in coordination with USTRANSCOM, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the Joint Logistics Enterprise. The challenge seeks mature prototype solutions—autonomous platforms, AI-driven decision aids, and distributed manufacturing capabilities—that enable sustained logistics support to distributed forces operating in contested and denied environments, with primary focus on the INDOPACOM theater.
Low-Cost One-Way Attack (OWA) Systems
Joint Rapid Fielding Activity (JRFA)
The Joint Rapid Fielding Activity (JRFA) is soliciting solutions for low-cost, mass-producible One-Way Attack (OWA) systems spanning FPV-class through Group 2 UAS categories. This is an Open Challenge with rolling reviews conducted on a quarterly basis; submissions received by the next review window will be evaluated in that cycle. There is no fixed closing date — the challenge remains open until the capability gap is satisfied or the requirement is superseded.
Alternative Position, Navigation, and Timing (Alt-PNT) for GPS-Denied Environments
Joint Rapid Fielding Activity (JRFA)
The Joint Rapid Fielding Activity (JRFA) seeks innovative Alternative Position, Navigation, and Timing (Alt-PNT) solutions capable of sustaining military operations when GPS is degraded, denied, or spoofed. This Open Challenge accepts submissions on a rolling basis with quarterly review cycles. Offerors may propose solutions addressing one or more PNT modalities across any form factor — from chip-scale implementations for guided munitions to rack-mount systems for surface combatants and submarines.
