Description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking information from the U.S. industry and supplier base to support rapid manufacturing of less expensive counter-air capabilities at greater scale. The agency is looking for companies that can design and build proposed platforms, conduct integrated missile design, manufacturing, and test, as well as performance and engagement analyses. The request for information includes several technical descriptions, including the capability to conduct cost and manufacturing planning and analysis for productionized versions of designed-for-manufacturing prototype weapons.
• The opportunity requires companies to have the capability to conduct integrated missile design, manufacturing, and test.
• The company should have experience with rapid design, iteration, and test threads with a focus on manufacturing approaches.
• The company should be able to develop missile models to be provided to third parties for operational analysis.
• The company should have the capability to conduct cost and manufacturing planning and analysis for productionized versions of designed-for-manufacturing prototype weapons.
