Respondents t o this RFI will not be reimbursed for the information they provide to the ARCIC. This is not a request for companies that may be able to conduct research but is a request for information from companies already conducting independent research and developmen t in relevant areas. Only those companies with demonstrated success in their independent R&D programs to address Department of Defense warfighting capabilities are requested to respond.
