Full Description

Show more
The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), in support of the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems (PAE MS) AIWA program, is issuing this RFI to conduct market research. The Government is seeking to assess industrys current and projected capabilities to support Full Rate Production (FRP) of the newly designed Very/Ultra High Frequency Transmit Array (V/UHF Tx Array) antenna, High Frequency Direction Finding (HFDF) antenna, New Graywing Antenna Development (NewGRAD) acquisition antenna, and Next Generation AS-4683 Antenna. The primary objective of this RFI is to identify qualified manufacturing sources for a build-to-print production effort. For the purposes of this RFI, industry shall assume the Government will provide a complete Level 3 Product level Technical Data Package (TDP). NOTE: The design and development of the TDP is currently in process. Responses should focus on manufacturing capabilities, quality control, and production capacity rather than engineering design expertise.Respondents are encouraged to provide recommendations related to the delivery of a partial or full solution, covering any or all of the antenna systems described herein for which they have expertise. You are not required to respond to all four antenna systems to submit a compliant RFI response.

Tactical Air Traffic Control (ATC) Command and Control (C2) System (TACOS)
Solicitation # FA2330_RFI_TACOS
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Aerospace Management Systems Division is seeking industry input through a Request for Information (RFI) to inform the future acquisition of a Tactical Air Traffic Control Command and Control System, known as TACOS. This RFI is strictly for market research under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to contract. Responses are limited to U.S.-registered contractors, and no payment will be provided for submissions. TACOS is envisioned as a modular, mobile, and survivable expeditionary system designed to replace outdated legacy ATC platforms that are ill-suited for modern multi-domain warfare. It must operate reliably in contested, degraded, or operationally limited environments, providing unified airspace awareness by fusing data from radar, ADS-B, tactical data links, weather feeds, and unmanned systems into a single integrated air picture. The system must be deployable within a 20-by-20-foot footprint, transportable on a single 463L pallet, operable by a crew of four, and capable of automatic power switching between commercial, scavenged, and generator sources without interrupting operations. TACOS must adhere to a Government-owned Modular Open Systems Approach with open standards, enabling seamless integration of third-party components and cloud-ready software containers. Core requirements include sub-second data fusion across up to twelve sensor inputs, real-time terrain and meteorological corrections for accurate altitude tracking, multi-path secure communications compliant with ICAO standards, and full interoperability with joint and coalition C2 networks including ABMS, BMC2, and the National Airspace System. The system must be hardened against electromagnetic pulse and electronic warfare threats, meet MIL-STD and TEMPEST requirements, and function while operators wear MOPP-4 gear. Operator workstations must support intuitive, multi-layer displays with AI/ML decision aids for conflict detection, aircraft sequencing, and threat visualization, along with automated safety alerts meeting FAA and EUROCONTROL standards for minimum safe altitude and conflict warnings. The architecture must support continuous 24-hour voice and data recording, rapid reconfiguration during operations, remote diagnostics, and sustain an operational availability of 0.999 under contested conditions. Industry is urged to propose commercial-off-the-shelf or government-off-the-shelf solutions and provide detailed technical alignment with each capability outlined, including cost and schedule estimates, open architecture compliance, and relevant past performance on government programs.

CH-53K Electrical Optical (EO) / Infrared (IR) Sensor System Competition
Solicitation # N0001927R1000
The Naval Air Systems Command is soliciting proposals under solicitation number N0001927R1000 for a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to provide the Electrical Optical and Infrared Sensor System for the CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter program. This effort encompasses non-recurring engineering, engineering and program support, production of forward-fit and retrofit sensor systems, spare components, adapter plates, testing, logistics, data delivery, and production reach-back support, with an estimated performance period of seven years at the contractor’s facility. Access to the solicitation and technical documents is strictly controlled and requires prior certification through the Defense Logistics Information Service via a DD Form 2345, a validated registration in SAM.gov, and submission of a written request to the designated government points of contact. Only entities that have met these requirements will be granted access to the restricted PIEE Solicitation Module and the DoD SAFE website where technical data, including Controlled Unclassified Information, is distributed. Export-controlled materials are subject to compliance with the Arms Export Control Act and the Export Administration Act, and offerors must ensure proper flow-down of handling and distribution requirements to all subcontractors and team members. Proposals must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. EST on September 15, 2026, and any questions must be submitted via the Industry Worksheet by 12:00 p.m. EST on July 28, 2026, to ensure a government response.
