Description
The United States Air Force is seeking to prototype a new supersonic counter air Enterprise Test Vehicle (ETV) weapon class. The focus of the effort is on the development of an affordable, digital, open/modular, and highly producible ground launched counter air ETV to support rapid integration and demonstration of commercial or minimally modified sub-systems and components into a new missile prototype. The government is requesting feedback from industry on the draft solicitation package and will hold an Industry Day and One-on-One discussions with vendors. The solicitation will request proposals from both prime missile vendors and missile launcher system vendors.
• The effort aims to revolutionize defense development paradigms in response to challenges posed by escalating system complexity and prolonged time-to-field cycles.
• The government seeks innovative solutions, strong industry partnerships, and to leverage industry expertise to manage the development and execution of solutions.
• The solicitation will be released in early July 2026, with contract awards expected to be made by the end of September 2026.
