# USAF Seeks Input on Long-Range Weapon

The U.S. Air Force has issued a second request for information seeking industry input on the acquisition strategy for the future Air Force Long-Range Weapon (AFLRW). The RFI describes an incremental weapon architecture and contains controlled unclassified information (CUI), making this an opportunity for contractors with relevant technical and acquisition expertise to inform program planning rather than a contract award announcement.

- Contractors should review the RFI’s access conditions and CUI handling requirements before seeking or using its information.
- Companies with relevant weapon-system and acquisition experience can assess whether they are positioned to provide useful input on the proposed incremental architecture and acquisition approach.
