RFI- SN-26-53

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking information from the U.S. industry and supplier base to better understand the current state of air-to-air weapons' avionics and sensor technologies. The goal is to identify capabilities that could enable the rapid development of affordable air-to-air weapons at scale. • The RFI focuses on commercial-off-the-shelf components for weapon avionics, sensor, and guidance, navigation, and control subsystems. • It also seeks information on emerging technologies or techniques for rapidly integrating and testing avionics, sensors, and guidance, navigation, and control subsystems. • Additionally, the RFI inquires about anticipated subsystem performance and trades, including reliability and producibility, for counter-air engagements.
