ARMY PM UAS - LAUNCHED EFFECTS

Program Executive Office Aviation (PEO Aviation) and Project Manager Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (PM UAS), seeks qualified vendors to provide affordable Launched Effects (LE). Launched Effects are attritable unmanned systems deployed from a host platform (airborne or ground-based) to perform missions such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare, communications relay, or strike. LE systems are networked, autonomous, and designed to operate in collaborative teams that offer lethal and non-lethal effects to extend operational reach at the Brigade, Corps, and Division level. Furthermore, LEs are designed for autonomous operations in contested environments to enable maneuver, achieve local Fire Support superiority, and deliver effects on High Value Targets for Army or Joint assets in high-risk missions. This effort will accelerate delivery of LE systems that support soldier-operated experimentation, training, operational employment, and further improvement of LE Concepts of Employment (CONEMPS) and Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs). Army leadership has directed PM UAS to field Launched Effects to every Army Division and Multi Domain Task Force in 2026. This challenge invites vendors to propose modular LE systems. Initial awards will be prioritized to vendors that can deliver systems within 4-6 months from ONI agreement award. One Nation Innovation’s challenge-based sourcing model will select LE system solutions.
