USSOCOM Small Cruise Missile (SCM)
This is a market research notice from USSOCOM seeking information on existing, demonstrated small cruise missile systems. The government is looking for a solution that can be ejected from a SOF C-130, travel over 400 nautical miles, and meet specific size, weight, and capability requirements. Respondents must provide a schedule to achieve production readiness (TRL-8) within 9 months and a rough cost estimate for any required non-recurring engineering. A key requirement is justifying why the government should invest in a new solution given it already has a successful prototype. The cost target for the weapon is $300,000 per unit at a quantity of 1,500.
