The US Navy is soliciting industry capacity to produce up to 600 Advanced Emission Suppression Missiles per year, indicating accelerated fielding of a next-generation anti-radiation weapon. The requirement emphasizes an advanced wideband anti-radiation seeker, extended-range/advanced targeting features, counter-countermeasures, and integration across F/A-18E/F, EA-18G, and internal/external carriage on F-35—suggesting a new or significantly updated SEAD/DEAD missile line beyond legacy HARM and amid AARGM-ER procurement pauses.
