About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command has issued a Special Notice (ID: 548607cfed304f518c4874ca05cb7cf1) for the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Request for Solutions. This notice is specifically focused on hypersonic missile technologies and related research and development efforts through the Joint Hypersonic Transition Office (JHTO). The opportunity is classified under NAICS Code 541715 for National Defense R&D Services and is seeking proposals to address capability gaps in hypersonic system development. The Special Notice was posted on February 3, 2025, with responses due by February 21, 2025. It will be managed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to solicit proposals that develop and demonstrate subsystem prototypes for hypersonic missile technologies, with a focus on areas including pilot-to-target navigation in contested environments, improved aerodynamic system design, enhanced airbreathing propulsion, and mission planning. Contractors must be members of the S2MARTS consortium to be eligible, and can obtain membership information through the S2MARTS website. The government intends to award multiple project orders under an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) in accordance with 10 U.S. Code 4022, with the potential for follow-on production contracts for successfully completed prototype projects. Proposed solutions should address technological gaps, explore innovative technologies, and provide a clear pathway to operationalizing capabilities for military application. Successful prototype concepts must be testable in ground or flight-based environments, with software development efforts capable of integrating with system-relevant hardware and flight conditions.

Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Request for Solutions (RFS) in support of
Joint Hypersonics Transition Office 2025 Request for Proposals
Project No. 24-05
PURPOSE
The Joint Hypersonic Transition Office (JHTO) is seeking proposals to fulfill capability gaps identified in the JHTO Science & Technology (S&T) roadmap. Proposals should address the development and demonstration of subsystem prototypes, filling gaps in enabling science and technology, and exploring disruptive new technologies. Proposals should also address a clear path to operationalizing these technologies, with the ultimate goal of providing advanced capabilities to the warfighter. Successful prototype concepts will be testable in a ground- or flight-based environment. Software development efforts must be able to integrate and demonstrate capability using system-relevant hardware and flight conditions.
The Government will assess the solutions with the intent of awarding multiple project orders under the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) in accordance with 10 U.S. Code § 4022. In accordance with 10 U.S. Code § 4022 (f), and upon a determination that the prototype project (or any subsequent iterative prototyping efforts) was successfully completed under the competitively awarded OTA(s), a follow-on production contract(s) or OTA(s) may be awarded without the use of competitive procedures.

- PROJECT OVERVIEW
High speed Mach 3+ and hypersonics Mach 5+ refer to supersonic vehicles that provide numerous advantages from a military perspective. Hypersonic missiles can cover vast distances in a short amount of time, can maneuver within the atmosphere, and are more capable of defeating missile defense systems. These capabilities allow rapid response to emerging threats and provide a significant advantage over traditional ballistic missiles. However, challenging trajectories and aerothermal environments experienced by hypersonic missiles present many technical difficulties associated with their design, development, testing, and production. Likewise, defending against adversary hypersonic missiles is essential for future battlefield effectiveness.
The Joint Hypersonic Transition Office (JHTO) is seeking proposals to fulfill capability gaps identified in the JHTO Science & Technology (S&T) roadmap. The roadmap is aligned to the hypersonic system capabilities listed below. Proposals should address the development and demonstration of subsystem prototypes, filling gaps in enabling science and technology, and exploring disruptive new technologies. Proposals should also address a clear path to operationalizing these technologies, with the ultimate goal of providing advanced capabilities to the warfighter. Successful prototype concepts will be testable in a ground- or flight-based environment. Software development efforts must be able to integrate and demonstrate capability using system-relevant hardware and flight conditions. The areas of interest to JHTO are described below and responses should respond directly to one or more of the topics.
