This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes only, not a solicitation, and the government may use responses to inform a potential prototype project under Other Transaction Authority. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD seeks information on industry’s capability to design, develop, qualify, and manufacture a solid-propellant propulsion system for a supersonic aerial target, leveraging advanced manufacturing like Additive Manufacturing. The government is exploring a strategy where the propulsion system would be developed to a government-owned Technical Data Package and provided as Government Furnished Equipment to a prime integrator. No budget amounts are specified, and no submission deadlines are provided. The effort will be briefed at the NASC Membership Meeting on 25 June 2026, limited to NASC members.
