PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Air to Ground Missile Systems (AGMS) Family of Munitions include: Helicopter Launched Fire and Forget (HELLFIRE) and Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM) variants. This family of munitions provide multiple platforms the ability to engage targets with point precision strike capability to defeat heavy advanced armor, individual hard point and non-traditional targets. The AGM-114R HELLFIRE and AGM-179 JAGM variants are currently in production. The HELLFIRE family of missiles consists of all HELLFIRE variants with the exception of HELLFIRE Longbow. HELLFIRE missiles uses a semi-active laser terminal guidance and includes warhead improvements and an updated electronic fuze. The HELLFIRE missiles can be fired from rotary wing (RW) and fixed wing (FW) aircraft, unmanned aerial system (UAS), waterborne vessels and land based systems. The JAGM System consists of a dual-mode guidance section mated to a HELLFIRE Romeo missile bus (warhead, control actuator system, rocket motor, and associated electronics). Joint service RW, FW and UAS will use the JAGM System for destruction of high value stationary, moving, and relocatable land and naval targets from standoff range. JAGM is compatible with all joint force and allied RW, FW, and UAS that are currently compatible with the HELLFIRE missile. The JAGM System uses advanced seeker and guidance technologies combining multiple sensors to provide improved Precision Point and Fire and Forget targeting for capability against fast moving and stationary targets in dirty battlefield/countermeasure intensive environments and adverse weather. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES The Government requires the AGMS in Fiscal Year (FY) 22 through FY25 with maximum quantities of 11,000 in FY22, FY23, FY24 and FY25. The Government also requires qualified test assets, test sets, support equipment, and initial spares to support the AGMS. The intent of this Sources Sought is to assess the state-of-the-art technology available in Air-to-Ground missiles that could be applied to meet this requirement. Interested parties must submit evidence of missile design maturity commensurate with a qualified missile system to include hardware, software, firmware, and full compatibility across the AGMS portfolio and the M299 Launcher. Interested parties must also submit evidence they are capable of producing the quantities stated above using a qualified production line. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Any resulting contract is anticipated to have a security classification level of SECRET. ELIGIBILITY The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 336414- Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing.
