is required to be no greater than $ 300,000. Production is also required to utilize digital engineering, WOSA compliance and design for export capability "that results in a modular weapon system capable of integrating alternative seekers, payloads and other subcomponents for different weapons variants as well as affordable upgrades to outpace adversaries without disrupting production throughput." Defense analysts have noted that the MACE request bears similarities to the Air Force's request for the
