Hypersonic missiles travel through the air at speeds of at least Mach 5, or 3,836 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p>The Air Force wants companies to identify themselves if they can integrate a Weapon Open System Architecture (WOSA)-based, solid-rocket boosted, air-breathing, hypersonic conventional cruise missile that can be launched from existing fighter or bomber aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>This future hypersonic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militaryaerospace.com\/sensors\/article\/14173083\/upgrades-tomahawk-missile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cruise missile<\/a> should be ready for preliminary design review (PDR) no later than late September 2021. PDR establishes a design baseline to ensure a system is operationally effective.<\/p>\n<p>This design phase happens before the start of detailed design work gives the Air Force an opportunity to closely observe the designer&#8217;s hardware and software design closely to ensure that the system has a reasonable expectation of satisfying Air Force requirements on budget and on schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Hypersonic munitions are among the highest priorities of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) because of their ability to attack high-value mobile targets like surface warships, relocatable missile launchers, and strategic command posts.<\/p>\n<p>The Future Hypersonics Program for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militaryaerospace.com\/computers\/article\/16714780\/raytheon-to-build-lot-of-maldj-ew-jammer-drones-in-1185-million-air-force-contract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">air-launched<\/a> munition involves digital- and model-based engineering for planning, qualification, component and subsystem testing, manufacturing, and sustainment.<\/p>\n<p>Companies responding should have experience in ramjet, scramjet, or dual-mode sustained air-breathing hypersonic propulsion; stable hypersonic aerodynamics; aero-thermal protection systems; solid-rocket motors; warhead and missile integration; advanced hypersonic guidance, navigation, control, and communications; and jet fighter and bomber weapon integration.<\/p>\n<p>Air Force officials will use responses from this sources-sought notice to determine if they should issue a future solicitation as a full and open competition, as a set-aside for small business, or any particular small business program.<\/p>\n<p>The Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control segment in Orlando, Fla., and the Raytheon Technologies Corp. Missiles &amp; Defense segment in Tucson, Ariz., are some of the few U.S. prime systems integrators able to design a hypersonic cruise missile.
