Commercially-Based Supersonic Aerial Target Solutions
This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research, not a solicitation, seeking industry feedback on mature, commercially-developed supersonic aerial targets for the Navy. The government is exploring alternatives to traditional acquisition, including innovative business models like contractor-owned/operated or pay-per-outcome. Near-term demonstration capabilities are sought for the October 2028 – September 2029 timeframe, with recurring operational support for the Fleet targeted for 2030-2034. No budget information is specified, and the location for performance of services is not mentioned. Responses are voluntary, and the government may use the information to inform a potential prototype project under Other Transaction Authority.
