REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)

INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS TO INCREASE THE UNREFUELED RANGE OF NAVAL TACTICAL AIRCRAFT
SUMMARY
The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Navigation Plan identifies the need for "Long-range precision fires across all domains and platforms with greater reach [to] enable naval forces to strike hostile targets while increasing our own survivability.” In support of this need, the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Program Office for F/A-18 and EA-18G (PMA-265) is interested in information on innovative, affordable concepts that may extend the unrefueled range of naval tactical aircraft (TACAIR).
The intent of this RFI is to provide PMA-265 with initial insight into the existence of such concepts, their potential capability to extend platform range, how the concept could be integrated into naval TACAIR, and any considerations with respect to reliability and suitability for carrier-based flight operations. A non-binding Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate of the costs required to reach Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 is also desired.
The audience for this RFI is industry, academia, and Government laboratories. The RFI does NOT presuppose a specific technology solution. It is meant to provide respondents with broad latitude to submit concepts across multiple engineering disciplines that could provide extended range capability. Example areas these concepts may address include, but are NOT limited to, methods to increase lift, reduce drag, increase fuel available, reduce fuel usage on the deck, increase engine performance; and/or adjustments to subsystem integration and/or architecture or advanced flight controls.
This RFI is the first step of an iterative process aimed at understanding concepts that may be able to meet this need. Based on the findings, additional RFIs may be issued in the future to continue the Government's informational exchange with potential solution providers.
