    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Army, is seeking capability statements from interested businesses for the Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM) Launched Effects – Medium Range (LE MR) lethal capability project. This initiative aims to identify a prime system integrator to develop a lethal munition system that provides Army Aviation and Ground Forces with precise, long-range capabilities exceeding 100 kilometers against Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) in complex environments. The project involves integrating a U.S. Government-designed payload with a commercially available or modified unmanned air vehicle, with an anticipated funding range of $100 million to $200 million and a prototype award expected in October 2026, followed by deliveries from June 2027 to September 2031. Interested parties should submit their capability statements to Andrea S. Dixon at andrea.s.dixon1.civ@army.mil by January 29, 2026.

    PRD - LRPM Lethal LE MR 20251215 v3.docx
    The Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires – Aviation Rockets and Small Guided Munitions (ARSGM) Product Office is seeking statements of interest for the Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM) project. This program is the lethal variant of the Launched Effects (LE) family of systems, designed to provide precise, long-range (over 100km) munition systems for Army Aviation and Ground Forces to counter Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) in Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) and PNT-denied environments. The LRPM program will integrate U.S. Government-designed payloads with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or modified COTS (MCOTS) air vehicles, launched from the Launched Effects Dispenser for Ground and Rotorcraft (LEDGR). Key efforts include integration and configuration management, testing, and prototype delivery. The project aims to deliver 200 to 600 fieldable prototype LRPM All-Up-Rounds (AURs), advance Technology Readiness Level (TRL), support safety and materiel release, develop manufacturing capabilities, and provide sustainment support. Funding for this effort is anticipated to be between $100M and $200M, with an anticipated award in October 2026 and prototype delivery between June 2027 and September 2031.
