Overview
- The Navy selected CoAspire under a $70 million Prototype Other Transactional Agreement routed through CMG Networks and the Naval Aviation Systems Consortium to design, build, test, and deliver the prototype to PMX‑201 and NAVAIR.
- CoAspire’s design adapts its RAACM‑ER by adding a booster and launcher to create a ground‑launched missile that can attack moving ships and land targets, a configuration the company says is comparable to its GHOST variant.
- The company emphasizes an additive‑manufacturing approach and a 56 first‑tier supplier network to cut tooling and touch labor, speed design changes, and lower unit costs compared with traditional production methods.
- CoAspire framed the effort for Foreign Military Sale customers to give allies a scalable maritime and land‑attack option, but the announcement is a company press release and gives no firm delivery dates or independent test verification.
- The CHAOS work builds on the existing RAACM family and prior U.S. programs that used RAACM‑ER variants, signaling a push by the Navy to prototype lower‑cost, mass‑producible strike weapons for partners.
