The longtime dynamics of the three dimensional (3D) Brinkman-Forchheimer equations with time-dependent forcing term is investigated. It is proved that there exists a uniform attractor for this nonautonomous 3D Brinkman-Forchheimer equations in the space $\mathbb{H}^1(\Omega)$. When the Darcy coefficient $\alpha$ is properly large and $L^2_b$-norm of the forcing term is properly small, it is shown that there exists a unique bounded and asymptotically stable solution with interesting corollaries.
