Close: Jan 23, 2026

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) issued a sources-sought Special Notice seeking AI-enabled technologies to automate and optimize search and track functions for EO/IR sensors on SOF platforms (e.g., the AC-130J). This is a market research RFI to collect white papers and capabilities information (limited to 10 pages) and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or commitment to award; respondents may include ROM cost/schedule estimates for potential demonstrations. The announcement prioritizes computationally efficient, hardware-light, platform- and sensor-agnostic solutions, openness to third-party integration, and encourages responses from small and disadvantaged businesses.

U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) issued a sources-sought (Special Notice/RFI) seeking AI-enabled technologies to automate and optimize search and track functions for electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors on SOF platforms (e.g., AC-130J). The goal is to reduce crew workload, improve mission outcomes, and enable platform- and sensor-agnostic solutions that are computationally efficient and integration-friendly. Respondents are requested to submit white papers (limit 10 pages) including a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate; classified submissions guidance and point(s) of contact are provided in the posting.
