AI Contract Overview
The United States Air Force is seeking a system to mitigate the risks associated with Degraded Visual Environments (DVE) for the HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopter, requiring a comprehensive solution that detects hazards in real time during both enroute and terminal phases of flight. This system must function reliably across diverse challenging conditions such as smoke, smog, snow, nighttime sand or dust storms, and aircraft-induced brownout and whiteout scenarios, delivering clear, actionable data to cockpit and cabin displays to enhance situational awareness and safety. The effort encompasses the full lifecycle of the Degraded Visual Environment System (DVES), including design, development, testing, integration, procurement, installation, and deployment of the required hardware and software kits, along with all non-recurring engineering necessary to adapt the system to the HH-60W platform. The contract will be structured with a 24-month base period and the potential to activate up to five additional ordering periods, creating a maximum possible duration of eight years. The solicitation, identified as FA8552-26-R-B001, was posted on June 23, 2026, with proposals due by July 15, 2026. It falls under NAICS code 336411 for aircraft manufacturing and carries no set-aside designation, representing an open competition. The contract office is located at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, with primary point of contact Theresa Younce and secondary contact Millie Danko available for inquiries. Performance is expected to support Air Force operations globally, with the system intended to significantly improve operational capability and crew safety under adverse visual conditions.
