Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) Request for Information (RFI)

The United States Air Force (USAF) Counter small-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) branch is requesting information on Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) technologies to combat Group 1, 2, and 3 sUAS. The USAF seeks systems capable of using track data from sensors to laze targets and launch guided Hydra 70 APKWS rockets, with a minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6. Native target detection/sensing and C2 capabilities are not required. This Request for Information (RFI) is for planning purposes only and will not result in an award. Responses are due by December 31, 2025, to Robert Gill, Ciabha Kelleher, and Capt. Thomas Greene. Submissions should not exceed Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) levels and require detailed information on hardware, software, pricing, support, and sustainment. Vendors must provide company information, product specifications, test data, and documentation as outlined in the RFI.

The United States Air Force (USAF) Counter small-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) branch is seeking information on Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) technologies to combat small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) in Groups 1, 2, and 3. The RFI aims to evaluate industry offerings of systems capable of taking track data from sensors, lazing targets, and launching guided Hydra 70 APKWS rockets. Native target detection/sensing and C2 capabilities are not required. Systems must meet US government and TAA regulations, possess sufficient test/reliability data, and have a minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a request for proposal. Responses are due by December 31, 2025, to Robert Gill, Ciabha Kelleher, and Capt. Thomas Greene.
