Request for Information (RFI) for Silent Anvil Air-Launched Torpedo (SAA-LT) Standoff Delivery Solutions
The Naval Air Systems Command is seeking industry capabilities for the Silent Anvil Air-Launched Torpedo, a next-generation standoff delivery system for anti-submarine warfare. This is an information-gathering effort for planning purposes, not a solicitation or commitment to award. The work would involve designing, developing, testing, and fabricating rapid prototyping alternatives under two possible design options: an integrated end-to-end solution or an unpropelled wing kit carrying a government-furnished torpedo. The anticipated timeline includes an end-to-end prototype demonstration within 18 months of award, followed by delivery of approximately 180 prototype all-up-rounds within three years after that demonstration. No budget amount or performance location has been specified.
