Background: The Government seeks to prototype a new supersonic ground launched counter-air ETV weapon class. The focus of the effort is development of an affordable, digital, open/modular, and highly producible ground launched counter air ETV to support rapid integration and demonstration of commercial or minimally modified sub-systems and components into a new missile prototype. In response to challenges posed by escalating system complexity and prolonged time-to-field cycles, this ETV effort aims to revolutionize defense development paradigms. The imperative to address these challenges swiftly is underscored by the need for agility, efficiency, and innovation to meet evolving warfighter needs. Given completion of successful prototyping and funding, the effort could lead to a follow-on Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM)-GLCA development and production program. The Government seeks innovative solutions, strong industry partnerships, and to leverage industry expertise to manage the development and execution of solutions. This solicitation requests proposals from both prime missile vendors and prime missile launcher system vendors.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $RTX reported $93.5B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 7 past awards, $760.0M, is 0.8% of that. SEC filing
- $NOC reported $42.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 7 past awards, $760.0M, is 2% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
