Description:
The Department of the Air Force is seeking information from capable sources for the development of a Lugged Affordable Cruise Missile (LACM). The LACM should be a 500lb class weapon with a minimum 100lb warhead, capable of blast, frag, and limited penetration effects, with variable fuze options, and a range of at least 250NM. The missile should have a low altitude performance of 100NM under 1,000ft AGL, and a selectable impact angle exceeding 70 degrees. The navigation system should be capable of operating in a degraded GPS environment, with a terminal accuracy of CEP 50 within 10m. The LACM should also align with the Weapons Open Systems Architecture (WOSA) and Modular-Series (M-Series). The key requirements for the LACM include: • A 500lb class weapon with a minimum 100lb warhead • Capable of blast, frag, and limited penetration effects • Variable fuze options • Range of at least 250NM • Low altitude performance of 100NM under 1,000ft AGL • Selectable impact angle exceeding 70 degrees • Navigation system capable of operating in a degraded GPS environment • Terminal accuracy of CEP 50 within 10m • Alignment with WOSA and M-Series • Long-term unit cost not to exceed $300K • Production capacity of over 1,000 AURs in a 12-month period • Delivery of weapons commencing by April 2026, with a minimum of 25 missiles per month.
