AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command's Research, Development, and Engineering Center at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is seeking white papers from interested parties regarding advanced motor technology for a new 2.75-inch rocket motor as part of the Advanced Mini Multirole Precision Guided Missile (AMMPGM) program. The aim is to develop a propulsion system with a longer range of approximately 8 kilometers while reducing the motor's length. Key technical challenges to be addressed in submissions include reducing motor volume while increasing range, developing insensitive munitions propellant, achieving a minimum Class 1.3 smoke propellant, managing spin profile and thrust misalignment, ensuring stability in helicopter downwash conditions, preventing helicopter engine surge, and eliminating tip-off errors. Respondents are asked to provide detailed descriptions of existing or near-term technologies relevant to these challenges, along with a summary of their experience in this field. White papers are due within 30 days of the posting date, and technical questions can be directed to a designated contact at Redstone Arsenal. It is important to note that this request is for information purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract or pay for information. However, companies submitting information may be considered for future contract opportunities related to hardware development or ancillary services connected with this missile motor technology effort.

Full Description

NA REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: Advanced Mini Multirole Precision Guided Missile (AMMPGM) Motor Development Technology. White Papers Due 30 days from posting. Contract POC: Ms. Marcia N. Tully, AMSAM-AC-RD-BB/ Procurement, +1 (555) 000-0000, e-mail: marcia. contact@example.gov. The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, Research, Development, and Engineering Center, Redstone Arsenal, AL, is seeking sources of information on current or near term technology that can be applied in the design and developmen t of a new 2.75-Inch rocket motor to be used in an upcoming motor technology program. The objective of this program is to provide a candidate propulsion system that has a longer range (8km) than the current system while shortening the motor length. Curre nt issues that must be addressed include: 1. Reduced motor volume and longer range, 2. Insensitive munitions and longer range, 3. Class 1.3 minimum smoke propellant and longer range, 4. Spin profile and tolerated thrust misalignment, 5. Stability margin and helicopter downwash, 6. Helicopter engine surge, 7. Negating ?tip-off? error. Interested vendors/contractors are asked to submit a white paper containing a description of the technologies that they possess, or are conducting, that have potential appli cation to this project. Responses should also include a brief summary of experience in this technical field. Responding vendors should provide information regarding this announcement to: Commander, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, AMSAM-AC-RD-BB/M arcia N. Tully, Building 5400, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5280, 30 days after posting. Technical questions can be addressed to Mr. Michael P.J. Benfield, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, RDEC, Propulsion and Structures Directorate, Redstone Arsena l, AL, 35898, telephone: +1 (555) 000-0000, fax: +1 (555) 000-0000, e-mail: contact@example.gov. This notice does not constitute an Invitation for Bids or a Request for Proposal, and it is not a commitment by the U.S. Army to procure products o r services. The GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INTEND TO AWARD A CONTRACT ON THE BASIS OF THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION OR OTHERWISE PAY FOR THE INFORMATION SOLICITED. However, respondents to this Request for Information will not be excluded from consideration for s eparate contract services ancillary to this demonstration program or for contract participation in any potential follow-on hardware development activity.
