Naval Air Systems Command posted a Request for Information on July 1 seeking industry responses on the ability to produce up to 600 Advanced Emission Suppression Missiles each year. The notice calls for a mature design at technological readiness level 6 or higher.
It states the Navy wants an advanced anti-radiation seeker with broad frequency coverage and the ability to target modern radar systems.
The RFI specifies compatibility with the F/A-18 E/F, EA-18G, and F-35 aircraft, both internal and external carriage. It also requires minimal maintenance, a 15-year service life, and more than 500 captive carriage flight hours. The document does not repeat earlier language about air-to-air capability or a range longer than existing Navy inventory.
The Navy's current anti-radar missile is the AGM-88 High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile, which has a range of up to 80 miles. Procurement of the newer AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range remains paused, with limited production scheduled to resume in fiscal year 2028.
