Summary

The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command is planning to award a sole‑source contract for full‑rate production of up to one hundred BQM‑34S Subsonic Aerial Target (SSAT) systems, with an initial lot of twenty‑five targets. The SSAT is a recoverable subsonic aerial target used for naval weapon test and evaluation and fleet training, and the procurement is notable because Northrop Grumman is the only source capable of providing the system and its associated technical data.
