AI Contract Overview

The contract seeks sources for the production of up to 59 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS) AN/AAR-57, designed to detect incoming surface-to-air missile threats and provide timely audiovisual warnings to pilots of rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. The initial delivery of four systems is expected within 90 days of contract award, with the overall contract being a firm fixed-price agreement lasting three years. The CMWS integrates an Improved Countermeasure Dispenser (ICMD) capable of deploying multiple expendable types such as flares, chaff, and smoke/aerosol for defensive countermeasures. The system is tailored to meet stringent flight and environmental requirements compatible with a range of DoD aircraft including the F-16, F-15, AV-8B, F-18, A-10, and various rotary wing platforms like the UH/MH-60, AH-64, and CH/MH-47. Key components of the AN/AAR-57 include an Electronic Control Unit (weighing no more than 17 pounds), between four and six Electro Optical Sensors (each not exceeding 3 pounds and 4.275 inches in depth), and up to four ICMDs composed of sequencers and smart dispenser buckets. The ICMD system supports the latest Army expendable munitions and can monitor firings on cue, with capacity to recognize at least sixteen payload codes. It must also interface seamlessly with the specified aircraft without requiring unique software configurations. Additionally, the contractor is expected to provide shop-replaceable spare units compatible with existing AN/AAR-57 systems fielded to the Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Notably, the government holds limited rights to the system's technical data and lacks a full technical data package.

Full Description

NA The CECOM RDEC is seeking sources and information for a Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) AN/AAR-57 production program for up to 59 systems. The delivery of the first 4 systems shall be 90 days after contract award. The contact will be a firm fixed pr ice contract for three years. This system is used by rotary and fixed wing aircraft to detect the launch and flight of threat Surface to Air Missiles (SAM) and provide audible and visual warnings to the pilot(s). The CMWS includes the Improved Countermea sure Dispenser (ICMD) that activates expendables to provide the countermeasures. The ICMD is capable of being loaded with, and dispensing, three or more types of expendables, such as flares, chaff and smoke/aerosol. The CMWS must be designed to meet the flight and environment requirements of the DoD's tactical and rotary wing aircraft as represented by the F-16, F-15, AV-8B, F-18, A-10,UH/MH-60, AH-64, and CH/MH-47. The AN/AAR-57 system shall be composed of the following components: An Electronic Contro l Unit (ECU) and 4 to 6 Electro Optical Sensors and up to 4 ICMDs where an ICMD is defined as 1 sequencer and 2 smart dispenser (SD) buckets. The ECU shall weigh not more than 17 pounds. The Electro Optical Sensors shall weigh not more than 3 pounds eac h and shall not exceed 4.275 inches in depth and shall not require calibration upon installation. The SD portion of the ICMD shall weigh not more than 7.2 pounds. The ICMD shall utilize the Army's latest generation of expendables and shall have the capab ility to sense a minimum of sixteen (16) payload codes. The ICMD shall have the capability to monitor expendable munitions firings upon system or manual cue. The CMWS shall be capable of interfacing with the F-16, F-15, AV-8B, F-18 and A-10. The CMWS sh all have established interfaces with the UH/MH-60, AH-64D and CH/MH-47 and not require unique configuration (i.e. software loads) for installation on aircraft of the same type. The source shall also provide Form Fit and Function Shop Replaceable Units (SRU) spares for the AN/AAR-57's already fielded to the Special Operation Aviation Regiment. The government does not possess a Technical Data Package for the AN/AAR-57 and has Lim ited Rights to the specification and interface documentation.
