The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO), intends to award a sole-source prototype project under an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for the Generation II Integrated Fires Protection Capability High Power Microwave (IFPC-HPM) to Epirus, Inc. This initiative aims to enhance the existing IFPC-HPM prototype by incorporating soldier feedback from Engineering Developmental Tests, thereby improving its effective range, lethality, reliability, and safety as part of the Army's modernization strategy for air and missile defense. Interested parties may submit capability statements to demonstrate their ability to provide the requested prototypes, with a deadline for submissions set for 1300 EST on October 18, 2024.
