Update Mi2 Technology Demonstration
Update: Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) AIRWorks
received a total of 13 responses from industry, demonstrating a variety of
technologies and capabilities. NAWCAD conducted evaluations of the
performance summaries, technology questionnaires and supporting artifacts in
accordance with the established criteria, and ultimately selected two
vendors for participation in the Phase 2 Live Demonstration Event at Yuma
Proving Ground, Arizona: L3Harris Technologies and Martin UAV. NAWCAD
anticipates conducting the live demonstrations in the November/December 2020
timeframe. As articulated in the announcement, Phase 2 of this multi-phased
merit-based selection process may lead to award of an Other Transaction (OT)
prototype project under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2371b. As previously
articulated to all participants, no debriefs will be provided with regard to
the Government’s selection decision. NAWCAD extends its appreciation to all
respondents for their interest and participation in this selection process.
