Quick Summary
The Department of the Army is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential prime system integrators for the Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM) Launched Effects – Medium Range (LE MR) Lethal Capability project. This effort seeks to provide Army Aviation and Ground Forces with a precise, long-range (greater than 100km) lethal munition system. The anticipated funding for this prototype effort is between $100M and $200M. Capability statements are due by February 7, 2026.
Scope of Work
The primary objective is to integrate a U.S. Government-designed lethal payload section with a commercially available or modified commercial off-the-shelf (COTS/MCOTS) unmanned air vehicle. The Government will provide Technical Data Packages (TDPs) and software for the payload, seeker, and guidance systems. The selected contractor will be responsible for procuring all necessary components and integrating them into a complete All-Up-Round (AUR). Major efforts include:
- Integrating the government-designed payload onto a contractor-proposed COTS/MCOTS unmanned air vehicle.
- Ensuring the final LRPM prototype is launch-capable from the Government-designed Launched Effects Dispenser for Ground and Rotorcraft (LEDGR).
- Conducting and supporting laboratory and field testing for safety qualification and material release.
- Developing a manufacturing capability and delivering 200 to 600 fieldable LRPM prototypes between June 2027 and September 2031.
- Providing technical and sustainment support to U.S. Army units.
