The intent of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather information on the domestic production capability and capacity of advanced avionics position, navigation, and guidance (PNG) systems suitable for hypersonic systems. Avionics systems, their subsystems, components, subcomponents, and their constituent materials are specifically designed and produced for the unique, harsh environment of hypersonic flight and scaling their production is critical to the success of the hypersonic missile strike strategy of the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DoD), which is considered essential to the national defense. To date, the DoD has supported proof of concept and prototyping efforts in this area, however the expansion of the industrial base capacity is required to meet expected future demand.

Operational Fires Program Successfully Completes First Flight Test
DARPA program demonstrates novel ground-launched hypersonic missile system capability
7/13/2022
DARPA’s Operational Fires (OpFires) program has successfully executed its first flight test at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The OpFires system achieved all test objectives, including first ever use of a U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) logistics truck as a medium-range missile launcher, missile canister egress, stable flight capture, and use of U.S. Army inventory artillery fire control systems to initiate the test mission. Lockheed Martin built the system, which includes a Northrop Grumman rocket motor, and conducted the test.
