Description
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources with the capabilities to design, develop, and manufacture an adaptable and affordable Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM). The program office seeks to streamline the battlespace by developing a single, common, air-to-surface munition that is affordable, adaptable, and possesses significant standoff range.
Key points of the project include:
* Developing a singular design that allows for the primary deployment method via Palletized: For long-range strike from cargo aircraft
* Presenting trade space for a secondary deployment method from the same singular design via Lugged: For long-range employment on fighter and additional aircraft
* The expectation is that the annual production orders will range from 1000 – 2000 units per year for 5 years
* The program office requests more information on the current design and its ability to be delivered from air to surface, and surface to surface by Army and Navy systems
* The Government is looking for a solution that meets the following performance attributes: Range ≥ 1000 NM, Speed ≥ .7 M, Deployment method Palletized via cargo aircraft, Target Set Slow moving maritime, Mid-course navigation Yes, Manufacturing Rate Per Vendor ≥ 1,000 AUR per year
