OUSD(R&E) Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) Superiority RFI

Background
The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research & Engineering (OUSD R&E) seeks to identify disruptive technologies or concepts that contribute to the achievement of electromagnetic spectrum superiority by 2030-2035. OUSD R&E plans to develop disruptive Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) technologies that provide capability in the areas of spectrum sensing, communicating, and electronic warfare including countermeasures against adversary capabilities. OUSD R&E is particularly interested in non-conventional approaches across various sciences including quantum, material science, biology, chemistry, physics, computing, and additive manufacturing.
