At a minimum, the Block 0 system is required to meet the SUAV screening criteria, Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), Airworthiness and Safety Requirements, and trade space requirements (optional). The objective for Block 1a is the execution and delivery of LRIP systems and the corresponding program support. The ob jective for Block 1b is the delivery of Full Rate Production (FRP) systems and corresponding program support. The objective for Block II is for continued Spiral Development and Horizontal Technology Insertions. AMCOM plans to issue formal RFP Number W58RGZ-05-R-0382 for a full and open competition for the U.S. Army SUAV system on or about 28 February 2005 with proposals due on or about 11 April 2005.
