The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal (W6QK ACC-RSA), has issued a Special Notice announcing an upcoming Industry Day focused on the Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI) – Alternate Interceptor Demonstration (AID). This event is organized under the Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires and Portfolio Management Executive (PME) Defensive Fires, and is intended to engage with industry partners regarding future acquisition opportunities related to advanced short-range air defense capabilities.
The primary purpose of this Industry Day is to provide an overview of the NGSRI-AID program and to identify potential sources capable of meeting the Army’s evolving requirements for Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) systems. The NGSRI initiative aims to replace the legacy FIM-92 Stinger man-portable air defense system with a high-performance, soldier-portable, fire-and-forget surface-to-air missile system. The envisioned system must be capable of countering rotary wing, fixed wing, and Group 2/3 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) threats. Importantly, the NGSRI missile is required to maintain backward compatibility with existing Stinger missile platforms, including SGT STOUT and the Marine Corps’ Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS).
The Army is actively seeking to identify additional vendors with production-ready systems that align with NGSRI requirements and are capable of participating in a demonstration scheduled for Spring 2027. A successful demonstration may lead to subsequent missile procurement awards, making this an important opportunity for qualified contractors in the guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing sector.
The Industry Day is scheduled for 15 September 2026, from 0900 to 1330 Central Time, and will be held at Intuitive Research in Huntsville, Alabama. The agenda includes registration and badging, a program overview, a keynote address, a joint panel discussion with Q&A, closing remarks, and one-on-one breakout sessions (which require pre-registration). Attendance is voluntary and not a prerequisite for participation in any future procurement or transaction related to the NGSRI program.
Key requirements for interested vendors include the ability to deliver a soldier-portable, fire-and-forget missile system that is compatible with legacy platforms and capable of addressing a broad spectrum of aerial threats. The Army is particularly interested in engaging with organizations that have mature, production-ready solutions and can demonstrate their capabilities within the specified timeframe.
This notice is classified under NAICS Code 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) and Product Service Code 1410. There are no set-aside restrictions associated with this opportunity; all qualified vendors are encouraged to participate. The place of performance is within the United States.
For registration details and further instructions, interested parties are directed to consult the Registration Info PDF attached to the notice. Additional information can be obtained by contacting the primary point of contact, Jazmine Robinson, at [email protected].
This Industry Day represents a significant opportunity for contractors specializing in advanced missile systems to engage directly with Army stakeholders, gain insight into future requirements, and position themselves for potential participation in the NGSRI program’s demonstration and subsequent procurement phases.
