ACCELERATING CAPABILITIES FOR MISSION IMPACT
Your Technology Could Solve a Problem You Haven't Considered.
Potential government contract award opportunity through the associated 2027 OTA.
The Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) Capability Showcase 2027 invites technology companies to submit innovative solutions addressing specific government-defined operational problems.
Through the 2027 Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) opportunity, eligible companies may have the opportunity to compete for a potential government contract award of up to $5 million, subject to the terms of the official solicitation.
Whether you're an established defense supplier or exploring government opportunities for the first time, Showcase provides a structured way to put your technology forward for consideration.
OUR APPROACH
A focused path from need
to consideration.
Define the
Need
Understand the operational challenge and desired outcomes.
Discover Relevant
Capabilities
Identify and engage technologies from across the defense and broader technology ecosystem.
Coordinate Structured Engagement
Manage outreach, participation, and review activities to support government evaluation.
Support Capability Advancement
Provide the information and engagement needed to inform potential next steps.
Government customers retain responsibility for technical evaluation, selection, acquisition, and award decisions.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Real Problems. Promising Technologies. Potential Contract Opportunities.
Some of the most promising solutions to government operational problems may come from technologies developed for entirely different industries.
Capability Showcase 2027 is designed to identify those solutions and connect them with specific government needs.
Unlike an open-ended technology exhibition, Showcase focuses on defined operational problem statements. Companies are invited to evaluate where their capabilities may offer a relevant solution and compete for consideration through a government-led process.
For eligible participants, the opportunity extends beyond presenting a technology. The associated Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) provides a potential pathway to a government award, with funding and selection determined under the official solicitation.
The starting point isn't where your technology was developed. It's the operational problem it could help solve.
2027 PROBLEM STATEMENTS
Explore the Challenges.
Capability Showcase 2027 focuses on five government-defined operational challenges. Explore the problem statements to determine where your company's technologies and capabilities may offer a relevant solution.
Project ATLAS-NC3: Autonomous/Advanced Terminal Loading & Alignment System
AFGSC seeks safer, more efficient solutions for loading and precisely positioning critical NC3 communications equipment on transport pallets. The goal is to reduce manual handling, equipment damage, and setup time in deployed environments.
View Problem StatementUAS Threat to the ICBM Environment
AFGSC seeks persistent, region-wide solutions to detect and defeat unauthorized unmanned aircraft systems across geographically dispersed ICBM missile fields. Technologies must support effective threat response while protecting mission continuity, personnel, and surrounding communities.
View Problem StatementRapid-Deployable Micro-Climate Enclosure
AFGSC seeks lightweight, rapidly deployable enclosures that create heated, wind-protected maintenance areas around B-52 aircraft components. Solutions should help maintainers work safely and efficiently in extreme cold while reducing weather-related maintenance delays.
View Problem StatementProactive Pharmacy Event Monitor
AFGSC seeks a proactive monitoring capability to identify medication-related risks, including missed refills, expiring authorizations, and potential drug interactions. The goal is to enable earlier pharmacy intervention, protect patient safety, and support deployment readiness.
View Problem StatementIntelligent Tool Control for Faster Inventory and Issue
AFGSC seeks intelligent tool-management solutions that accelerate inventory, check-out, and check-in while maintaining reliable accountability. Technologies should reduce maintenance delays, improve tool visibility, and quickly identify missing or overdue equipment.
