High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (HAAWC)

High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (HAAWC) Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue a sole source contract with The Boeing Company for Full Rate Production (FRP) of the High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Weapon Capability (HAAWC) Air Launch Accessory (ALA) for use in launching the MK 54 Torpedo from the P-8A Poseidon aircraft from high altitude. The primary HAAWC capability requirement is to increase the standoff range and weapon release altitude for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft during ASW missions for employment of a lightweight torpedo against submarine targets. The ALA will be used exclusively with the MK 54 MOD 0 and MOD 1 Torpedoes and will be carried and released from the weapons bay of the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. The Navy requires capacity to carry and release five (5) HAAWC weapons on the P-8A. The ALA must have a MIL-STD-1760 electrical interface to allow data transfer from the P-8A Poseidon Station Control Unit with the HAAWC ALA. The interfaces of the current MK 54 will be utilized for transferring MK 54 Torpedo preset data from the aircraft's fire control system to the HAAWC and to the MK 54 Torpedo through the fire control interface. The products and services sought under future FRP procurement may include: NRE for required redesign, retesting, updates due to obsolescence and/or requalification of the ALA ALA FRP quantities (estimated at 1,000 units) ALA and AUR shipping and storage containers Telemetry kits Engineering services and hardware repair Flight termination and data link capability development Test equipment Spares and production support material Government Purpose Rights TDP This notice is provided pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) and FAR part 6.302-1: the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
