30 APRIL 2025 Request for Solutions: Prototyping Research and Operations for Tactical Electromagnetic Warfare and Advanced Networking (PROTEAN) PURPOSE This Special Notice is issued to provide awareness of the release of a Request for Solutions (RFS) for an other transaction project in accordance with 10 U.S.C.

4022. The RFS title PROTEAN opportunity has been issued as part of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trust Systems (S2MARTS) consortium managed by National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL) and administered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. 2. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY 2.1 Other Transaction Consortium Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Consortium.

Interested parties may visit S2MARTS.org for membership information. 2.2 PROJECT OVERVIEW Currently, there is no demonstrated EW and seeker payload framework that allows vendors to bring their capabilities for technical evaluation and integration onto unmanned platforms, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of various EW solutions.

In addition, the project will address technical integration challenges, lack of standardization, insufficient testing and evaluation, inadequate transition path, operational effectiveness and limited innovation. Please visit the S2MARTS website at (https://s2marts.org/) to review additional information.
