G-IV Inertial Reference System UpgradeThe contract involves upgrading the Inertial Reference System on the G-IV aircraft at the Air Force Research Center (AFRC). The current system, Honeywell’s LASEREF II, is no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or any third-party vendors. To address this, the OEM offers an adapter kit to upgrade from LASEREF II to LASEREF IV, which is the only compatible successor for this aircraft model. The procurement includes the acquisition of three Inertial Reference System units, the necessary adapter kit, and installation services to be carried out by an approved avionics shop. This upgrade is essential to maintain the aircraft's navigation reliability and operational capability, as no other versions of the LASEREF system are compatible with the G-IV. The work will be performed at Edwards Air Force Base, and the contract is forecasted by AFRC under NAICS code 334511. Points of contact include the contract lead and small business specialist, offering avenues for inquiries and participation. The effort ensures the G-IV aircraft remains equipped with supported and current navigation technology.
