Description

This notice is a follow-on to the Request for Information (RFI) Hybrid-Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Technology, W911W6-24-RFI-0005, published July 16, 2024, on SAM.gov (https://sam.gov/opp/924c2b08df27463f92f7ea8accc857ad/view).

This notice is provided for information and planning purposes only. The intent is to further clarify the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) interests in hybrid-electric technologies ahead of a yet to be released Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Call for Hybrid-Electric VTOL Advanced Technology Development.

The motives for releasing a BAA Call with respect to this technology area are to:

Enhance the Army-s technical knowledge and understanding of hybrid-electric technology for aviation systems and applications. Characterize the technical and programmatic risks associated with the transition of various hybrid-electric technologies. Demonstrate advancements in aviation platform capabilities, potential improvements to Army operations and warfighter benefits. Inform the Army-s aviation science and technology (S&T) strategy, requirements development, and acquisition planning.The Government is interested in application of hybrid-electric technology to vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and very short take-off and landing (STOL) platforms that enhance existing or enable novel aviation capabilities. However, there is not a government-prescribed, best hybrid system configuration or technology set. Advanced technologies, to include fuel cells, may be considered.

The Government will not prescribe a “best approach” to meeting the research objectives. There is a spectrum of potentially acceptable ways to characterize technology. Examples may include integrated power system characterization, instrumented aircraft flight testing, and capability demonstration. Technical risk and maturity, cost, complexity, degree of characterization, payoff with respect to re...
