The U.S. Army's DEVCOM at Picatinny Arsenal has issued a broad agency announcement for industry collaboration on advanced electronics and sensor technologies for weapons systems. The project seeks innovations in microsystem chip fabrication using DRIE, anti-tamper systems for remote armament, and distributed radar and infrared sensors for threat detection and fire control.

Requirements include affordability, functionality in harsh environments, and adherence to military standards. The Army is also interested in high-efficiency power amplifiers, RF integrated circuits, and AI technologies for enhanced situational awareness and autonomous operations.
