Request for Information (RFI) for Silent Anvil Air-Launched Torpedo (SAA-LT) Standoff Delivery Solutions

The U.S. Navy (NAVAIR/PMX‑201) issued an RFI to gauge industry capability for rapid‑prototype development of the Silent Anvil Air‑Launched Torpedo (SAA‑LT) standoff delivery system. The effort seeks concepts for either a full end‑to‑end torpedo solution or a glide‑wing kit that carries a government‑furnished torpedo effector, with a goal of demonstrating an operational prototype within 18 months and fabricating roughly 180 prototype rounds over three years. Respondents must be able to operate at Secret clearance level, submit an unclassified, CUI‑level response (<10 pages for one option, ≤15 pages for both), and provide rough‑order‑of‑magnitude cost estimates. No funds are provided for response preparation; future awards may be made under Other Transaction Authority. • Two design pathways: (1) complete integrated torpedo system; (2) wing‑kit/glide kit that delivers a GFE torpedo. • Prototype demonstration required within 18 months of award; production of ~180 all‑up‑rounds over the following 3 years. • Mandatory security clearance (Secret) and CUI handling; third‑party contractors may review submissions. • Submission deadline = 02 Oct 2026 5 PM ET; Industry Day = 17 Sep 2026 for market‑research briefings.
