Purpose-Built Attritable Systems (PBAS), Bomber Family of Systems Expansion

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is seeking information from industry on existing or emerging capabilities that support the Purpose-Built Attritable Systems (PBAS) program. The program is focused on delivering small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) capable of employing lethal and non-lethal effects at the lowest tactical level. The Government is interested in expanding the scope of PBAS to include a family of systems, incorporating both small and larger air vehicles capable of conducting One-Way-Attack (OWA), droppable munition delivery, Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) and marsupial operations. Some key points about this opportunity include: • The U.S. Army has an immediate need for PBAS to integrate droppable lethality into air vehicles to achieve and maintain overmatch capability. • The Government is looking for industry capabilities that support expansion of PBAS into a family of systems, to include larger “bomber” variants. • Respondents should address system performance against parameters such as Maximum System Weight, Operational Range, and System Classes of Interest. • The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 541715 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,000 employees.
