The US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Program Executive Office (PEO) Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons (U&W), Precision Strike Weapons Program (PMA-201) is seeking information from industry on innovative concepts for the development of a low cost, light weight Precision Guided Training Round (PGTR) capable of simulating the performance characteristics of the GBU-12C/B, D/B, F/B, GBU-38, and GBU-54 500lb class of precision guided munitions. The PGTR should be suitable for integration on Naval fixed wing aircraft (F/A-18A+/C/D/E/F and AV-8B) and designated Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) utilizing standard interfaces, open architecture, and maximum carriage capabilities with 14 inch or single point suspension. Development concepts should outline an approach that ensures maximum utilization of infrastructure and platform integration elements that already exist for previously fielded systems. As a result of this RFI, the Government expects to receive responses from interested and capable sources in the form of a concept summary paper containing a description of technical data defining the proposed concept. The concept summary paper shall be written from a system solution perspective showing how the concept and development methodology could satisfy above stated requirements. Each concept summary paper should include a top level description of the proposed PGTR development concept, a detailed list of anticipated end product physical and performance characteristics, scope of development effort, reliability and maintainability characteristics, platform and suspension equipment integration/interface concept, design provisions to support incremental upgrades, technology insertion opportunities, weaponization potential, an assessment of the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of proposed product including key subsystems, and a description of the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) for the proposed product. Responses to this RFI will be used for information and planning purposes only and do not constitute a solicitation. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.
