Common Autonomous Multidomain Launcher (CAML) Munitions Pallet (MP) Request for Solutions Brief (RFSB)

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Request for Solutions Brief (RFSB) from the U.S. Army for the Common Autonomous Multidomain Launcher (CAML) Munitions Pallet (MP) Prototype and Integration effort. The CAML system is designed to be a mobile, autonomous/optionally crewed, multi-domain fires launcher capable of augmenting or replacing existing Army launchers. The goal is to solicit solutions that meet the program objectives and outline the technical and competitive landscape for capabilities that can meet or exceed desired requirements.

• The CAML system consists of a CAML Leader (crewed vehicle) and CAML Followers (Autonomous Mobility Platform - AMP - vehicle with a Munitions Pallet - MP).

• The AMP is designed to resupply MPs up to 60,000 lbs and has a Load Handling System (LHS).

• Four variants of the CAML MP are identified: Tomahawk, PAC-3/Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE), Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) AIM-9X, and Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System / Precision Strike Missile (GMLRS/PrSM).

• The CAML system must support various operational modes including Convoy, Autonomous Waypoint Following, Teleoperation, and Optionally Piloted / Manual modes.

• Solutions must address the technical requirements outlined in the attached Performance Work Statements (PWS).

• The effort is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 authority, indicating a phased competition.

• The overall CAML effort is composed of three separate agreements: AMP, Leader Vehicle, Autonomy C2, and MP Surrogate; MP development; and Weapon System Integrator (WSI) for integration.

• Associate Contractor Agreements (ACAs) will link these efforts.

• This RFSB is Phase 1 of a three-phase competition.

• Offerors must submit a concise Solutions Brief (max 10 pages) for each variant they wish to be considered for.

• Submissions must include a technical solution, teaming strategy, data rights assertions, and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price and project development schedule.

• Phase 2 may involve oral presentations/pitches.

• Phase 3 may involve an Emulation Event (for Tomahawk variant) or direct invitation to submit a Request for Prototype Proposal (RFPP) for other variants.

• Evaluation criteria for Phase 1 include Technical Approach, Qualifications and Experience, and ROM Price.

• Key deadlines are provided for RFSB release, questions, responses, oral presentations, and RFPP release for different variants.

• Only U.S.-based companies are eligible.

• Companies must be incorporated and maintain a primary place of business in the U.S.

• Entities cannot be a U.S. Federal government entity or employ a Federal employee acting within their scope of employment.

• Registration in System for Award Management (SAM) and an active CAGE code are required.

• All information is preliminary and subject to modification.

• The Government will not pay for information received in response to this RFSB.

• Submissions become Government property and will not be returned.

• Non-Government advisors may be used in the evaluation process, and their firms are prohibited from competing.
