This SAM notice is to highlight the G-TEAD USAREUR-AF ACE 27-02 Spectrum Enabled Warfare Powered by XTECH. Accelerated Capability Event 27-02 | Spectrum Enabled Warfare See: https://xtech.army.mil/ for official response date. Description: The U.S. Army, through the Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD) and U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF), in operational partnership with the U.S. Army FUZE xTech Program, is conducting an Accelerated Capability Event (ACE) to evaluate, demonstrate, and acquire operationally mature (TRL 6+) electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO) capabilities. This effort enables U.S. Army forces operating within a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and joint coalition framework on the Eastern Flank to sense, understand, exploit, attack, and protect across a contested electromagnetic environment (EME) and connected cyberspace. To preserve combat power and freedom of maneuver, forces must protect tactical command and control (C2) networks while delivering synchronized lethal and non-lethal effects at depth against adversary systems. The G-TEAD Library of Competed Capabilities utilizes Accelerated Capability Events (ACEs) via including, but not limited to, Prize Challenge events (e.g., Army xTech Program) and Alternate Pathway submissions through open call announcements to create a competitive, compliant, and scalable acquisition framework. Vendors who qualify will have their capabilities added to the G-TEAD Library of Competed Capabilities and remain eligible for rapid follow-on contracts, agreements, or Orders without the need for further competition. This SAM notice is to highlight ACE 27-02 Spectrum Enabled Warfare . Selected vendors will receive prize funds, demonstrate solutions in Germany before Army and NATO end-users, may leave behind kits for follow-on operational evaluation, and may be awarded a Prototype Other Transaction (OT) Agreement (10 U.S.C. 4022) with 10 U.S.C. 4022(f) – Follow-on Production Contracts
