AI Contract Overview

Show more

The E-3 AWACS Electronic Protection (EP) program is undergoing an update aimed at enhancing the AWACS Weapon System’s electronic protection situational awareness and improving the Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM) capabilities of the APY-1/2 Surveillance radar. This upgrade targets the highest priority concerns directed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and ensures the E-3 sensors continue to protect critical assets in contested battlespaces by maintaining and modernizing the S-band sensor capabilities. The program envisions integrating a modern controller, processor, and receiver to enhance EP performance, sustain current radar effectiveness, and allow for future rapid updates in response to emerging threats. The program follows an Air Force Section 804 rapid prototyping strategy, structured in two increments: Phase 1A and Phase 1B. Phase 1A, targeted for FY 2021, focuses on mitigating technical risks by validating the adaptability of existing hardware to the AWACS environment and demonstrating understanding of radar processing and interface requirements. Multiple contracts are expected during this phase. The Government is exploring various contracting approaches, including the use of GSA Oasis and Other Transactional Authorities (OTAs), to expedite prototyping and development. Key contacts for technical and contracting queries have been designated, with the effort managed by the Department of Defense at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

SUBJECT: Electronic Protection (EP) Strategy Update 1. The purpose of this memorandum is notify industry that the EP Strategy has been updated as outlined below. 2. The E-3 AWACS Electronic Protection (EP) program will update the AWACS Weapon System by adding electronic protection situational awareness and updating the Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM) performance of the APY-1/2 Surveillance radar. E-3 sensors must maintain the ability to electronically protect the assets and awareness in the battlespace. The EP modification will address the highest priority areas of concern as directed by Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), and act as a gateway to continually maintain the E-3 S-band sensor. 3. The Government considers it highly desirable to implement a solution that efficiently upgrades the APY 1/2 Radar with a modern controller, processor, and receiver that allows enhanced EP, maintains current AWACS performance, and allows rapid updating in the future when new threats emerge. 4. As an AF Section 804 program, EP development strategy is to conduct rapid prototyping in two increments; Phase 1A and Phase 1B. Phase 1A will mitigate the technical challenges for low-risk entry into Phase 1B Development Prototyping scheduled for FY 2021. During Phase 1A, the contractor(s) will verify existing hardware provided by the contractor is adaptable to the AWACS environment and demonstrate their understanding of the AWACS radar computer processing, receiver requirements and the key interfaces required to be re-integrated. It is anticipated that multiple contracts will be awarded for Phase 1A. 5. To accomplish this effort, the Government is considering various contracting approaches and will provide updates as decisions evolve. This includes the possible use of GSA Oasis and/or Other Transactional Authorities (OTAs) for rapid prototyping. 6. The technical point of contact for this effort is Mr. Don Cote at 781-225-4607, donald.cote.1@us.af.mil. Please send all contracting questions, comments and response to the Contract Specialist Ms. Dawn Thompson at 781-225-4450 or dawn.thompson.7@us.af.mil, or Mr. Nathan Childs at 781-225-1681 or nathan.childs.3@us.af.mil.
