On September 18, the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) announced the Information Warfare Research Project (IWRP) Quarterly Industry Day.
NAVWAR and Naval Information Warfare Centers (NIWC) Atlantic and Pacific announce the IWRP Consortium Quarterly Industry Day hosted by Advanced Technology International (ATI), the IWRP consortium management firm, on 16-17 October 2025, at 0800 Eastern Time at the Charleston Marriott, 170 Lockwood Blvd, Charleston, SC 29403.
It is anticipated that the topics may be the basis of upcoming Requests for Prototype Projects (RPPs) to IWRP consortium members. This is not an RPP and is intended for planning purposes only. A project will not be awarded from this announcement. In addition to RPPs, the Government may present Pre-Solicitation Collaborations (PSCs) and Technical Collaboration Exchanges (TCEs). RPPs and PSCs will include a short brief and one-on-one breakout sessions. TCEs consist of a short brief and round table discussions.
Additionally, this event will introduce a new way of presenting topics called a Broad Request for Prototype Projects (BRPP). The BRPP concept is explained below. The RPP/PSC/TCE topic descriptions are subject to change leading to the event. The BRPP topic titles will be provided soon and are also subject to change leading to the event. It is expected that more RPP/PSC/TCE/BRPP topics will materialize leading to the event.
IWRP is launching a new way to do business with the intention of making things faster and easier for everyone. During the October GMM and QID, the Government will be presenting several different technology areas of interest. The first batch of BRPP topics will be focused on advanced non-kinetic effects. The technical focus areas relevant to this BRPP will include cyber warfare, assured communications, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and electromagnetic spectrum. Think of these as prototyping shopping lists for capabilities the government needs.
In order to obtain more information regarding the specific projects, you must be a member of the IWRP consortium.

The purpose of this announcement is to provide members of the IWRP consortium, and industry in general, advanced notification of government intent.
