--Industry Day - Class IV UAV Survivability Sensor Suite for US Army Future Combat Systems Program

The Boeing Company, serving as the Lead Systems Integrator for the Army’s Future Combat Systems (FCS) program, is coordinating an Industry Day event focused on the Class IV UAV Survivability Sensor Suite. This suite includes a Radar Warning Receiver, Missile Plume Detector, and Laser Detector intended for the Class IV UAV Multifunctional Aerial Combat Support System. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Electronic Systems sector, is acting as the Aerial Sensor Integrator for Boeing and, together with their partner Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), is managing the event. The Industry Day is scheduled for November 7, 2007, in Linthicum, Maryland, and is an opportunity for interested companies to learn more about this bid opportunity and the technical requirements related to the survivability sensor suite. Participation requires companies to complete a questionnaire available on the Northrop Grumman website and submit it via email to [email hidden]. Upon receipt, further registration details will be provided. The notice emphasizes that this is not a procurement action by the U.S. Government, and inquiries should be directed to the designated Boeing points of contact rather than government representatives. Administrative questions can be addressed to Sharon Sarchiapone. The engagement is associated with the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army TACOM, with the office located at Detroit Arsenal, Michigan. This event seeks to foster industry collaboration on critical sensor technologies that enhance UAV survivability within the Army's advanced combat systems framework.
