Shank 2.0 payload, training warhead, and pre-packed anti-personnel warhead

The U.S. Army is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) to identify manufacturers capable of producing the government‑developed Shank 2.0 payload, training warhead, and pre‑packed anti‑personnel warhead for small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) platforms, and to obtain industry recommendations for improving the Technical Data Package (TDP) for producibility. The effort is not a formal solicitation; no funds are available for response preparation, and responses are voluntary. The Army anticipates a potential production scale of up to 40 000 systems per month and seeks rough order‑of‑magnitude pricing, schedule, and producibility suggestions. • Manufacture Shank 2.0 payload and associated training/live warheads. • Integrate with Picatinny CLIK / sUPI interface and ESAD/LEEFI or shock‑tube initiation systems. • Demonstrate capacity to scale production to ~40 000 units/month while meeting quality, safety, and export‑control requirements. • Provide ROM cost, schedule, and design‑improvement recommendations for the TDP. • Submit a ≤10‑page capabilities statement (no smaller than 10‑point font) by 01 Oct 2026 via email to the listed contract specialist and contracting officer.
