Enhanced Seeker for Lethal Munition System W56KGU-25-R-RTID

Please see attached Whitepaper.

The U.S. Army seeks to enhance the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of an existing missile system, leveraging a Government design for the seeker as a starting point. This effort directly supports the Secretary of Defense's priority of strengthening the munitions industrial base and capacity. Current and future battlefield environments demand improved seeker capabilities to effectively engage a wide range of threats. Achieving this requires advancements in seeker design, robust verification testing, streamlined manufacturing processes suitable for Government ownership of a technical data package (TDP) at the manufacturing level, and comprehensive risk management throughout the seeker's lifecycle. Please provide questions by 13 August 2025. The closing date of this RFI is 27 August 2025. A Non-FAR based OTA is being contemplated.
