This is a Request for Information (RFI) from the Air Force Research Laboratory's Rocket and Space Propulsion Division at Edwards AFB, seeking industry input on Rocket-Based Combined Cycle (RBCC) propulsion technologies using rotating detonation rocket engines with storable propellants. The focus is on identifying current technologies, industry base, test facilities, and investment areas to enhance US RBCC capabilities, with emphasis on weight minimization, scalability, mission utility, propulsion-airframe integration, and logistics. Interested parties are asked to address specific areas such as RBCC system characteristics, thermal management, liquid propellants (e.g., High Test Peroxide with RP or Jet Fuel), ground and flight test resources, computational tools, and flight demonstration opportunities. Responses must include company name, business size, and CAGE/SAM UEI, along with administrative information and qualifications, submitted electronically to the contracting officers. The government does not intend to award a contract based on this RFI, will not pay for response costs, and will safeguard proprietary information.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes only, not a solicitation for proposals. The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks industry input on developing Rocket-Based Combined Cycle (RBCC) propulsion, specifically integrating Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) technologies with storable, non-cryogenic propellants like High Test Peroxide. Key focus areas include minimizing system weight, maximizing scalability and mission utility, and ensuring operational sustainability with minimal logistics. Responses are due within 30 days of the notice’s publication date, with no specified budget or performance location mentioned.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes only, not a solicitation for proposals. The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks industry input on developing and demonstrating Rocket-Based Combined Cycle (RBCC) propulsion, specifically incorporating a liquid storable Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) for high-speed systems. Key areas of interest include minimizing system weight, maximizing scalability and mission utility, and using non-cryogenic, storable propellants like High Test Peroxide (HTP) or other liquid oxidizers. Responses are due within 30 days of the notice's publication date, and work is centered at Edwards AFB, California. No budget amounts are specified in this RFI.
