20 October 2022 (Individual Sessions) (Additional Dates as required)
The purpose of this announcement is to inform industry that the Office of the Project Manager, Tactical
Aviation and Ground Munitions (PM TAGM) will be hosting a virtual Industry Day on 20 October 2022 for
Industry in follow up to the Close Combat Weapon System Heavy (CCMS-H) Request for Information
(RFI).
Date: 20 October 2022 (Government Presentation Open Session)
Location: Virtual (Tentative Application is MS Teams)
Time: 0900-1100 CDT (Check In and Communications Checks begin at 0830 CDT)
Cost: None
The purpose of Industry Day is to update Industry on the CCMS-H Program. This forum will provide an
opportunity to inform Industry on the CCMS-H conceptual approach regarding the program timeline, and
updated user Desired Characteristics (DCs) for the CCMS-H. Industry Day will provide the opportunity for
Industry and the Government to exchange information and address questions as they relate to the
CCMS-H. The event will include an overview brief by the Government, a general Question and Answer
(Q&A) session regarding the CCMS-H, and Individual Sessions for vendors to communicate directly in a
one-on-one forum with the Requirement owner and the product management office assigned as the
Office of Primary Responsibility for CCMS-H.
The CCMS-H will be used in shaping operations and the close combat fight. The munition should be
Maneuverable to engage and defeat Tier 1 armored threats and field fortifications in the open or in
defilade. Munition attributes include dual command guidance, such as Fire and Forget (F&F), Command-
Line of Sight (CLOS), or Semi-Active Laser (SAL) homing, "shoot on the move," reduced time of flight,
Counter Active Protection Systems (CAPS), maneuverability, maximized range, and an abort or divert
before impact capability. Additionally, the CCMS-H should operate below 3000 feet Above Ground Level
(AGL) during degraded, denied, and/or Electronic Warfare (EW) contested environments. CCMS-H
should incorporate the ability to network during Cooperative Engagements (CE). The CCMS-H guidance
system should incorporate reprogrammable target prioritization into the munition while aiding target
detection and identification. The munition system should enable semi-simultaneous engagements of
multiple threats from single or multiple platforms by a single leader while ensuring distribution of fires and
managing over-kill. CCMS-H capability should provide organic close combat anti-armor capability to
Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs). CCMS-H will initially augment existing stockpiles of the TOW Family of
Missiles (FoM), while maintaining compatibility with platforms/launchers.
