    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, is seeking information on small form factor component technologies for a Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS) interceptor through a Request for Information (RFI). The objective is to gather data on existing missile component technologies, including seekers, Control Actuation Systems (CAS), batteries, and Guidance Navigation Units/Inertial Measurement Units (GNU/IMU), that meet specific performance and production criteria, such as a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 5 or greater and compatibility with missile diameters of 40mm to 70mm. This initiative is crucial in addressing the evolving threats posed by small unmanned aircraft systems in modern warfare, aiming to enhance the Army's capabilities in missile defense. Interested parties must submit their responses, including a technical white paper and an Excel data sheet, by 11:00 AM CST on December 19, 2025, to the primary contact, Ms. Tammy J. Benson, at tammy.j.benson.civ@army.mil.

    This government file outlines instructions and specifications for submitting white papers for various missile components, including the seeker, control actuation system (CAS), CPU, IMU, and battery. Each component requires detailed technical specifications such as Technology Readiness Level (TRL), dimensions (width, length, weight, volume), power consumption, supply voltage, and operating ranges. Additionally, the document requests production-related information, including unit costs for prototyping, moderate purchases (1,000 units), and production-level purchases (10,000 units), as well as lead times and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL). The instructions emphasize the need for complete information and adherence to specified units, noting that submissions must not exceed CUI classification. The purpose is to gather comprehensive data on proposed missile technologies for potential federal procurement or grants.

    The document outlines comprehensive data sheet requirements for various missile components, including the Seeker, Control Actuation System (CAS), CPU, IMU, and Battery. It is structured as a request for specifications and production details, typically found in federal government RFPs. For each component, the document requires detailed technical specifications such as Technology Readiness Level (TRL), volume, weight, power consumption, operating ranges, and specific performance metrics. Additionally, it asks for production-related information, including unit costs at different purchasing volumes (prototyping, moderate, and production levels) and lead times, as well as the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL). The consistent format across all components emphasizes the need for complete and precise information, noting that incomplete submissions will not be considered. The document also specifies classification limitations (not higher than CUI) and protection of proprietary markings, indicating a structured procurement process for advanced missile technologies.
