ATCH 1 CAML Lite Statement of Objectives Rev 1

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO) (Revision 1)

Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML)-Lite Prototype Effort Reference: Attachment 1 to Request for Solutions Brief (RFSB), 21 October 2026 Anticipated Request for Prototype Proposal (RFPP)-Following RFSB Evaluation and Selection
Following evaluation, the Government intends to issue an RFPP to selected respondents requesting:
•

Phase 1: Prototype Demonstration at Talisman Sabre 2027 (TS-27), with a priced Phase 1 Prototype Acquisition Option for additional prototype units, New Equipment Training (NET), and Contractor Logistics Support (CLS). Proposals due 20 November 2026.

•

Phase 2: Prototype Maturation and Common Architecture Integration, with NET and CLS if required. Proposals due as established in the applicable solicitation or request for proposal.

1. PURPOSE

SOO Purpose: This Statement of Objectives (SOO) defines the Government's desired outcomes for the CAML-Lite Prototype Effort: industry demonstration of best available solutions at TS-27; Government acquisition of selected prototypes for operational experimentation and Soldier feedback; and maturation toward a common CAML architecture. CAML is a modular launcher platform intended to deliver cross-domain offensive and defensive fires through a system-of-systems Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). Autonomous operations increase operational flexibility, mobility, and survivability. Common interfaces and interchangeable modules enable integration of multiple munition families while reducing logistics and training burdens and supporting competition throughout the system's life cycle. CAML-Lite is a mobile, optionally manned, autonomous launcher capability within the CAML family, intended to support worldwide deployment and cross-domain fires. Its desired capabilities include autonomous munition resupply with minimal human intervention, operations across varied terrain and weather conditions, and integration of current and future munitions and mission systems through modular, open interfaces. Each Performer shall develop a Statement of Work (SOW) describing the tasks, methods, deliverables, schedule, and verification approach proposed to achieve the objectives applicable to its effort. Following Government review and negotiation, the agreed SOW will be incorporated into the Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) as an attachment. Performers shall use the RFSB and RFPP when preparing their proposed SOW.

2. PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The CAML-Lite prototype effort has two phases. Phase 1 consists of the Phase 1 Demonstration,
