Description
As published on SAM.gov.
Issued pursuant to Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) FAR 15.101(c) and RFO FAR Part 10 solely for information, market research, and planning purposes. This market survey is conducted by the Aerial Targets Program Office (AFLCMC/EBAY) under the Air Force Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Weapons (AFPAE/WP) to obtain industry capabilities, rough order of magnitude (ROM) information, and data needed to support commercial product/service, non-developmental item (NDI), and small business determinations under RFO FAR 10.001(f), and to inform acquisition planning.
Per Title 10, U.S. Code §4172, major munitions and missile programs must demonstrate lethality against appropriate, threat-representative targets prior to full-rate production. The Aerial Targets mission is to provide target aircraft that replicate threat systems, including performance, signatures, and countermeasures of adversary aircraft.
The objective of this RFI is to identify a range of solutions to populate a family for systems needed throughout the spectrum of missions in Defensive and Offensive Counter Air capabilities. These solutions may represent the full range of airborne threats, spanning from inexpensive “hobby drones” to the most advance adversary fighter and large-scale aircraft.
This RFI is intended to:
- Identify commercially available or near-term solutions
- Understand industry capabilities and innovative approaches
- Inform future acquisition strategies and budgetary requirements and assist the agency in making commerciality, NDI, and small business set-aside determinations
See attached RFI and Question and Answer documents and for additional details.
