Summary
The Low-Cost High-Speed Air-to-Air Missile RFI is a request for information issued by the Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Materiel Command, to explore industry capabilities in developing a prototype missile that meets specific performance and cost criteria. The initiative aims to identify potential industry partners who can deliver a missile with a form factor similar to the AIM-120 AMRAAM, focusing on low integration and non-recurring engineering costs by utilizing existing high-TRL and high-MRL components. Contractors with expertise in guided missile manufacturing, particularly those capable of producing low-cost solutions that maximize range and aircraft loadout, are encouraged to respond. The RFI emphasizes the importance of providing a rough order of magnitude cost and delivery schedule, as well as the ability to obtain necessary licenses and data rights from original manufacturers. This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses with experience in defense contracting and missile technology.
