Low-Cost Multi-Function Ku-Band RF System for Prompt Strike Weapons
Summary
The Department of the Air Force seeks proposals to develop a low‑cost, Ku‑band multi‑function RF seeker system for long‑range air‑launched prompt strike weapons that can perform radar, passive direction‑finding and datalink functions within a small form factor. The effort emphasizes high‑volume manufacturability and unit costs below $50 k, aiming to mature the technology to Critical Design Review level for integration into future weapon systems.
