Air Delivered Effects BAA

The Air Delivered Effects BAA is AFRL's umbrella solicitation for air-delivered munitions research at Eglin Air Force Base, under the AFRL Munitions Directorate and the Air Warfare Directorate. It runs as an open window through March 2027 and carries a stated ceiling of $750 million, so it functions as a long-lived program vehicle rather than a one-time competition. The call covers cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, and related instruments for munitions-centered research and development. Eligibility reaches small businesses, universities, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, with applications routed through Grants.gov and contracting handled by the Munitions Directorate team at Eglin. Amendment 6, issued in March 2025, is the operative version in the record. This is a broad defense R&D channel, but the scope is still specific to air-delivered effects work. It rewards teams that can align with the amendment-level topic areas and submission rules, and it sits alongside the newer Air Dominance BAA rather than replacing it. Because the vehicle is an umbrella announcement, applicants need to track the living amendment documents rather than expect a single fixed project format.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
