- Description
- The Program Executive Office for Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) seeks information from industry, academia and laboratories (all referred to herein as the ?Vendor?) capable of providing advanced air and missile defense (AMD) concepts in support of the United States Navy (USN). New AMD threats are projected to proliferate in the 2030-2040 timeframe. A particular AMD threat of interest is long-range shore-based anti-ship munitions in the form of ?brilliant? munitions. A ?brilliant? munition operates autonomously to search, detect, classify identify, select, and engage targets. ?Brilliant? munitions have an additional capability to identify and engage specific classes of targets. The means of delivery may be howitzer, artillery rocket or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A ?brilliant? munitions maximum range of 300 kilometers is anticipated. In addition, approximately 16 ?brilliant? munitions may arrive near simultaneously. It is desired to negate the ?brilliant! ? munitions at least 2 kilometers from the ship through a ?hard-kill? concept. To this end, vendors are encouraged to submit any or all of the following information: (1) A whitepaper describing ?brilliant? munitions concepts that are judged likely to be mature enough to be developed and deployed in quantity by the 2030-2040 timeframe; (2) A whitepaper describing ?brilliant? munitions hard-kill concepts that are judged likely to be mature enough to be developed and deployed in quantity by the 2030-2040 timeframe; (3) A whitepaper describing a notional engagement systems development program including: the time required for concept refinement, technology development, system development and demonstration, and production and deployment in sufficient quantity to constitute a meaningful combat capability; or (4) A whitepaper describing affordability including rough order of magnitude (ROM) development and procurement costs. The PEO IWS will accept either unclassified or classifie! d responses (up to the SECRET level) to this RFI. Vendors responding to the RFI shall submit one (1) hard copy and five (5) CD-ROMs. Responses shall be submitted in Microsoft WORD format only.
