Description

Executive Summary

For the future Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), the government is seeking information on engine options that provide platform capability to achieve United States Government (USG) objectives. This RFI focuses on capability at discrete intervals defined as near (3 years), mid (5 years), and far (7 years) terms from a program initiation assumed to be Q1FY25. For these intervals, the government questions seek information on capability vs. cost, schedule, and risk centered on off-the-shelf, modified off-the-shelf, derivative, and new engine designs. For the purpose of this response, the engine characteristics of interest include 3000-8000 lbf thrust class engines.

For the purpose of this response, the desired aircraft characteristics of interest for evaluating the enabling capabilities of the engine's options are as follows: increased range, reduced runway take-off distance, increased Mach capability, increased power and thermal capacity, and increased payload.
