Phase II, Task 1 awardees will also develop a Common Aero Vehicle (CAV) launch system in parallel with the small satellite launch system. DARPA anticipates releasing a Program Solicitation on a full and open competition basis for Phase II, Task 1 within the next 14 days. This special notice is not a request for proposals. See note number 22.
