Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a contract to perform a concept, exploration and definition (CE&D) analysis in an amount not to exceed $450,000. The CE&D will evaluate the feasibility of obtaining and converting the Russian SS-N-22 "MOSKIT" missile as a cost effective, threat-replicate U.S. target to meet the Supersonic Sea Skimming Target (SSST) mission under Foreign Comparative Test (FCT) Guidelines. The Russian SS-N-22 missile (North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) designator ("Sunburn")) is manufactured in and by the Republic of Russia. The Russian Federation is the only known source for this system. The Navy is looking for responsible industry sources with demonstrated capabilities in the design, development, and production of missiles, targets, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), propulsion systems, avionics, target augmentation/auxiliary systems (TA/AS) equipment, and missile, UAV and target subsystems. After completion of CE& D, the Government may issue a contract to procure the SS-N-22 missile and associated hardware to convert this missile to a U.S. target. This is not a commitment or authorization by the Navy to incur any cost in anticipation of such a requirement. The Contractor would have sole responsibility for acquiring and importing the SS-N-22 assets and coordinating all attendant license and clearance necessities with the U.S. and foreign governments.
