Ground-Based Launcher System Design & Integration

The contract seeks the design and development of a transportable, modular ground-based launcher system tailored for unmanned aerial systems classified as Group 2 or higher, emphasizing rapid deployment in austere and challenging operational environments. The system must be engineered for seamless integration with existing military command and control architectures, ensuring real-time communication, situational awareness, and coordinated mission execution without requiring extensive infrastructure or specialized support. The launcher must balance ruggedness, portability, and scalability to meet the dynamic demands of forward-deployed military units. Performance is expected to center around Wright Patterson Air Force Base, with the contractor required to deliver a solution that meets stringent military technical and operational standards within a tight timeframe, as the response deadline is August 7, 2026. The contract falls under NAICS code 332994, indicating it targets other miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing, and is structured as a subcontract, suggesting it may be part of a larger program managed by the Department of Defense through the Aflcmc C3BM C3 office. All proposals must demonstrate technical feasibility, proven manufacturing capability, and a clear pathway to fielding the system without delays or dependency on unproven technologies.
