AEGIS Modernization M/B/A

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the capability to perform efforts in support of the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) MK 7 production program.

The TI 16 AAU equipment suite configuration will affect the AEGIS LAN Interconnected System (ALIS), AEGIS Conversion Equipment Group Input/Output (ACEG I/O), Common Computing Equipment (CCE), Digital Video Display System (DiVDS), Secure Voice System (SVS) and other peripherals. Included in these requirements is the testing of a ship set of TI 16 AAU equipment at the Backfit Production Test Facility prior to delivery to DDG 80 to support her AMOD availability.
