SUMMARY:Weapons Science & Technology (S&T) Summit
DESCRIPTION:Doolittle Institute\, on behalf of the Air Force Research Lab Air Warfare Directorate (AFRL/RA)\, is seeking industry partners who are developing novel technologies and solutions to increase weapon range and production rates. \nSpecific capabilities sought include: \n\nSolid rocket motor and air breathing propulsion technologies which can enable an increase weapon range.\nManufacturing processes for propulsion systems which allow for increase in production rate\, as well as allow for rapid ramp-up in production rate.\nAdvances in other (non-propulsion) weapon component technology that can enable increase in weapon range.\nIndustry observations and suggestions to overcome supply chain limitations driving the long lead time for weapon propulsion production.\nTrades that can be made in propulsion variability\, reliability and/or performance to support increased weapon range and production rate.\n\nParticipants are welcome to submit novel\, early stage technology\, however\, AFRL/RA is primarily interested in technology that can be feasibly matured to TRL 6 in 3-5 years. \nInterested parties are encouraged to submit a one-page summary of their solution or technology that addresses the following: \n\nCharacterization of technology and/or processes for focused change.\nCharacterization of anticipated increase in propulsion capability and/or production rate due to proposed change in technology and manufacturing processes.\nObservations and suggestions to overcome any supply chain limitations driving the long lead time for weapon propulsion production.\nRough order magnitude costs to enable notional identified changes.\nRoadmap of anticipated R&D activities and opportunities for government collaboration to develop the technology.\n\nAFRL/RA will down select submissions based on the one-page summary and will request additional technical information from successful offerors. Successful offerors may be invited to present their solutions in-person at the Weapons S&T Summit to be held on October 7-8 at the Doolittle Institute facility in Niceville\, FL. \nSubmissions should be emailed to the following individuals no later than Monday\, September 23 at 1700 Central Time: \n\nMr. John Haynes\n\nEmail: john.haynes.21.ctr@us.af.mil \nTel: 850-883-6653 \n2. Mr. Rob Campbell \nEmail: robert.campbell.32.ctr@us.af.mil \nTel: 850-882-8876 \nPlease do not make travel plans until you are notified that your solution was selected by AFRL/RA. \nFor full event and RFI details visit: https://sam.gov/opp/2ea0dc8c259b4d298100a9f47d312084/view
