Maritime Launched Effects - Increment 1 (MLE-1) Request for Information (Updated 16 Dec 2025)

The Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office (PEO) Undermanned and Small Combatants (USC), Naval Special Warfare Program Office (PMS 340), is conducting a market research RFI for loitering munitions to support the Maritime Launched Effects - Increment 1 (MLE-1) program. The Government seeks to identify vendor interest and capabilities to produce maritime precision strike capabilities, with a focus on systems suitable for integration with SOCOM Combatant Craft. This RFI is not a request for proposals and does not commit the Government to any future procurement. Interested parties are requested to submit CAGE code, company information, and a single point of contact in PDF or Microsoft Word format by January 16th. Responses should be limited to 10 pages and address information on current, in-development, and planned loitering munitions, including system maturity (SRL, MRL, TRL), architecture, integration potential, and limitations of technical data rights. While a fully qualified munition by Q3FY29 is desired, the Government recognizes significant effort may be needed for qualification and is seeking the “best of” product that meets the general intent of MLE-1 requirements as defined in the MLE Capability Development Document (CDD), which will not be provided at this time.
