Request for Information (RFI) – Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) for Ground/Maritime Search and Rescue

This Request for Information (RFI) is an update to a previous RFI (FA8629-25-R-6002), namely the removal of the tethered requirement. The United States (US) Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Strike Systems Program Office (AFLCMC/WISS) is conducting market research to identify systems capable of providing organic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) to extend line of sight communications, increase threat detection and locate isolated personnel (IP) via a standoff effect in vast environments where Combat Air Forces (CAF) aircraft are denied. System(s) will be employed by Air Force Rescue Forces conducting personnel recovery missions in maritime environments.
