Energetic Material and Ordnance Research and Development RFI

Description

This Request for Information will outline the overarching objectives for the Research and Development of mission effects technologies that the Contractor may perform for the AFRL Mission Effects Division (AFRL/RAB) in the broadest and most flexible manner for the USAF. AFRL/RAB directs and conducts basic, exploratory and advanced research and development of fuzes, warheads, energetic materials, AI & decision-making, and weapon algorithm development. The objective of this research is to identify promising energetic material systems that can mature to transition into a larger, focused project while also identifying and exploring new energetic materials, new processing methods for producing energetic materials, and formulate those new materials that expand the frontiers in survivability, controlled output, multi-functionality, power density, and insensitivity. This research encompasses the synthesis, scale-up, production, processing, machining, and characterization of advanced energetic materials.
