Commercially-Based Supersonic Aerial Target Solutions

The Naval Air Systems Command, Program Management Office, Aerial Targets (PMA-208), is seeking information on commercially-based supersonic aerial target solutions. The objective of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit technical feedback from industry and identify mature, commercially-developed solutions that can meet Navy threat simulation requirements. The Government is seeking information on supersonic aerial target capabilities that can be demonstrated in the near term and can be scaled to provide recurring operational target presentations to support the Fleet. The RFI includes requirements for performance, maneuverability, and system integration. Interested parties are requested to provide a capabilities statement addressing their corporate capability, proposed business model, technical and operational approach, schedule, and risk. • The RFI is not a solicitation and does not constitute a commitment by the Government. • The Government may use the information received to inform a potential prototype project under Other Transaction Authority (OTA). • The RFI is open to various acquisition and business models, including contractor-owned/contractor-operated and pay-per-outcome. • The Government reserves the right to pursue production of a successful prototype. • The RFI includes a requirement for safety certification and range integration.
