About this file

This is a Special Notice for a Request for Solutions (RFS) for an other transaction prototype project under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 4022. The Phased Launch Test Demonstration (PLTD) is a prototype project opportunity managed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division, part of the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The project is administered through the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) consortium, managed by the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL).

The PLTD initiative aims to accelerate the readiness of test infrastructure for critical strategic missile systems through rapid prototyping and phased testing approaches to generate early performance data for future missile and launcher subsystem development decisions. The project will progress in phases, with initial tests conducting air launches followed by final phases utilizing underwater launches. Participation is restricted to S2MARTS Consortium members; interested parties must obtain membership through S2MARTS.org. Questions are due by May 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET, with responses due by June 2, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET.
