The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a competitive solicitation for a multi-stage supersonic target development program. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is planned for release in first quarter FY-08. The United States Navy (USN) has an emergent requirement for a cost effective aerial target system to simulate a multi-stage anti-ship cruise missile threat. The target vehicle will be required to exhibit a subsonic cruise stage, followed by a supersonic sprint stage. This target system will be used to support test and evaluation of ship platforms and associated self-defense systems currently being modified or in development. In general terms, the vehicle should be capable of programmable navigation, including terminal weaves, have a range greater than 100 nautical miles, have a subsonic cruising range of greater than 90 nautical miles at 50ft Mean Sea Level (MSL), and attain a minimum sprint speed of 2.2 mach at 16ft MSL. The USN anticipates the target program will enter System Development and Demonstration (SDD) in FY-08. Accordingly, the Program Office (PMA-208) plans to conduct an Industry Day during fourth quarter FY-07. The Program Office anticipates posting the Industry Day announcement by the end of June 2007 on FedBizOpps. This is not an RFP. This synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government, nor will the U.S. Government pay for any information solicited or provided.
