About

The Authority is seeking information from industry suppliers for developed and conceptual high-performance missile launchers/silos with low maintenance and minimal operator interaction that can operate onboard both crewed platforms and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) to enable the Hybrid Navy. Required capabilities include launching current IAMD-relevant effectors (e.g., CAMM and ASTER families or similar) and compatibility with future IAMD effectors, with silos able to sustain a ‘prepared for firing’ status for a minimum of 30 days without physical human interaction. The Authority is also seeking information on containerisation options to minimise platform integration complexity and on silo/launcher solutions that achieve high commonality (90% of components) across maritime and land variants. This RFI is for information only and is not intended to prepare industry for any specific future procurement; different industry partners may be engaged for different purposes.
