The Naval Sea Systems Command PEO Integrated Warfare Systems Above Water Sensors (PEO IWS 2.0) intends to award an up-to-five year contract to Raytheon Company, Integrated Defense Systems (Raytheon IDS) of Marlborough, Massachusetts, for continued performance of Dual Band Radar (DBR) system Design Agent Engineering Services. This is a follow-on contract; continuing performance of efforts performed on contract N00024-15-C-5335, and includes completion of design and integration of the radar with other systems for the CVN 78 and DDG 1000 class ships. This contract will be awarded to Raytheon IDS utilizing other than full and open competition. The contract will be structured with one base year and government-held contract options which could potentially extend the period of performance for up-to-five years. The work includes studies/analyses and technical engineering services for the DBR system including: logistics/supportability; test equipment procurement; installation integration support; combat system integration testing; financial and operational analyses; management and production reports; non-recurring engineering studies; analyses to evaluate the viability of potential solutions to various technical problems. This contract will allow continuation of non-severable tasks in support of Ship Activation, Industrial, and Operational Test Programs on CVN 78 and DDG 1000 class ships. Raytheon IDS is the sole company capable of providing these Design Agent services for PEO IWS Above Water Sensors. Raytheon IDS has developed the DBR radar suite which is a single, integrated radar system combining the AN/SPY-3 Multi-Function Radar (MFR) at X-Band and AN/SPY-4 Volume Search Radar (VSR) at S-Band. Raytheon IDS has led efforts to design and integrate the MFR, back-end electronics, and the common array power and cooling systems for the DBR. This work includes various engineering services such as testing efforts, software enhancement and modifications for several interfaces, and studies. Raytheon IDS is the only contractor with the requisite knowledge, experience, capabilities, and technical data that can meet the Government's cost and schedule requirements.
