The Air Force is planning early acquisition efforts for a new Next Generation Reentry

Vehicle for deployment on the Sentinel (GBSD) weapon system. This Request for Information

(RFI) is intended to gather information and feedback from potential sources as part of market

research for the NGRV effort. Key advanced reentry vehicle (RV) attributes of this ACAT

(acquisition category) 1B-equivalent program may include enhancements in accuracy, lethality,

survivability, etc. Any RV performance attributes, goals, or requirements listed in the RFI are

intended to solicit initial interest, capabilities, and background from the industrial base to

determine viability. The government intends to award a contract(s) in FY26 (Fiscal Year). The

government in determining potential prime and subcontractor capabilities.
