Scope
PEO-FW FANTOM Behavior Integration (A2E) Assessment Event (AE) Submit NLT 05 November 2026 11:59 PM ET U.S.
Citizens Only Purpose SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM Program Executive Office Fixed Wing (PEO-FW), will host an Assessment Event to identify potential vendors to integrate existing or propose new autonomy behaviors into the government?owned Framework of Autonomous Networked Tactical Open Modules (FANTOM) Autonomy Software using the provided FANTOM Core Software Development Kit (SDK).
This event aims to accelerate capability insertion for multi?platform, multi?payload uncrewed systems operating within the Adaptive Airborne Enterprise (A2E) ecosystem.
Background/Synopsis A2E is an interoperable system-of-systems designed to enable robust Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities through expendable, autonomous Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) platforms, resilient data paths, and a common control architecture.
FANTOM is the complete autonomy software stack deployed across the A2E System-of-Systems.
FANTOM Extensions are mature (high TRL) vendor add-ons integrated using the SDK.
Insertion of specialized/new modular, SDK-driven autonomy behaviors is required to extend, mature, and rapidly integrate into the FANTOM ecosystem.
Objective USSOCOM is soliciting industry solutions to support FANTOM’s scalable autonomy architecture enabling distributed, collaborative behaviors across Group 2-3 A2E Unmanned Systems (UxS) platforms.
As operational demands expand, the program requires continual innovation in: Novel autonomy behaviors (e.g., mission objective/adaptation, swarm coordination, sensing, navigation, task allocation, distributed decision-making, targeting, tracking) Behavior maturation and validation Integration pathways and approaches via t...

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
