Objective Summary

The Department of the Air Force has a high priority requirement for much lower-cost long-range air-launched prompt strike weapons that operate in the very high supersonic flight regime. Towards that requirement, the objective of this topic is to develop a Ku-band multi-function RF seeker system that can be manufactured at scale, supporting RF modes including radar, passive direction-finding, and line-of-sight datalinks. Low unit production cost and high-volume manufacturability are key goals of this topic.

The full objective, description, Phase I, II and III requirements and evaluation criteria are in the official topic on DSIP.
