Coming Soon Notice – Posted on 25 August 2025

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane and the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) are preparing to release a new opportunity focused on an affordable, innovative demonstration of prototype high speed weapon systems. This effort aims to showcase producible hypersonic capabilities across a range of all-up-rounds, launcher platforms, and weapon system configurations.

Key Areas of Interest include:

1. Near Hypersonic and hypersonic all-up-rounds of various sizes and launch capabilities including cruise and boost glide.
2. Flexible launcher platforms, such as box-launched systems, mobile launchers, and other adaptable launcher configurations.

The goal of this prototype effort is to generate data and insights that will inform potential follow-on production and integration decisions for future-generation hypersonic weapon systems.

The prototype development of MACH-XL Other Transaction Authority (OTA) project period of performance will be identified in the forthcoming Request for Solutions (RFS) and finalized with prospective awardees following assessment of solutions
