U.S. Army seeking new long range missiles for rotary wing and unmanned aircraft

On Sep 10, the U.S. Army Contracting Command posted a notice on the U.S. government’s main contracting website, asking for information from contractors about their ability to produce Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM) for integration on currently fielded and future Army Rotary Wing (RW) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

Potential weapons systems must be precision capable and demonstrated as a complete system in a relevant environment; responses will also serve to inform Air Launched Effects (ALE) lethal requirements, according to a recent service notice.
