Compact HLG Technology

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) at China Lake, California will issue a full‑and‑open competition (RFP N6893625R0029) to develop and demonstrate high‑total‑impulse, energy‑tailorable solid‑propulsion technology for next‑generation tactical missiles, including a Compact Air‑to‑Air Missile (CAAM). The effort requires a Concept Design with a build‑to‑print data package, identification of critical technology gaps, component and rocket‑motor experiments, a Design‑for‑Manufacturing & Assembly study, and a maturation plan to bring the CAAM HLG concept to a readiness level suitable for entry into a DoD Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) program. The contract will likely include both Cost‑Plus‑Fixed‑Fee (CPFF) and Firm‑Fixed‑Price (FFP) line items. Offerors must be registered in SAM and certified through Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS) to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Access to CUI is restricted to a single point of contact per CAGE code, requiring DD 2345 approval and coordination with the Data Custodian. The response deadline is 16 June 2025, with the solicitation expected to post on or about 1 July 2025.
