(**RESCHEDULED**) NATO SEASPARROW Project Office (NSPO) Evolved SEASPARROW Missile New Variant Development – Industry Day

The NATO SEASPARROW Project Office (NSPO) is hosting an industry day to discuss the development of a new missile variant, the Next Significant Variant (NSV) missile system. The NSV will be a successor to the ESSM Block 2 and must be able to engage current and future threats while maintaining existing quad-pack sizing with a 10” missile diameter. The NSPO is exploring technology to be incorporated into the NSV, including seeker technologies, autopilot, computing stack, internal communications, rocket motor alternatives, warhead design, and combat system integration. The industry day will consist of a classified morning session and an unclassified afternoon session, and will cover the consortium's requirements for a future missile system, the acquisition approach, and the use of digital engineering. Key aspects of the opportunity include: • The NSPO is a twelve-nation international consortium with a mission to provide a platform for international cooperation and innovation. • The NSV missile system must be able to engage current and future threats while maintaining existing quad-pack sizing. • The NSPO is exploring various technologies to be incorporated into the NSV, including seeker technologies and combat system integration. • The industry day will cover the consortium's requirements for a future missile system and the acquisition approach. • The NSPO welcomes existing and new industry partners, without prejudice to companies with limited government contracting experience.
