Industry Day Missile Warning System (MWS) for F-16 Aircraft

SCOPE The F-16 System Program Office (SPO) at Hill AFB will be hosting an Industry Day to discuss the United States Air Force requirement for a Missile Warning System (MWS) for the F-16 fighter aircraft. The F-16 SPO is interested in meeting with industry representatives to answer questions and receive feedback regarding this requirement to assist with acquisition planning and program strategy. The industry day group meeting will be held in the Main Conference Room of Building 1234 at Hill AFB, UT. This meeting will take place on Tuesday 25 February 2014, and it is anticipated to start at 0730am and last the entire business day. However, the actual schedule will depend on the industry's level of interest in the event and will be finalized after all RSVPs have been received. One-on-one meetings will also be scheduled. BACKGROUND The US Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) have a requirement for an off-the-shelf, proven F-16 MWS for their F-16 aircraft. The F-16 SPO, Hill AFB, UT intends to award a contract to manufacture MWS for installation into PIDS+ (Pylon Integrated Dispenser System Plus) pylons for integration with combat coded F-16 aircraft. MWS is required to improve survivability against man portable surface-to-air missiles (MANPADS). PIDSU (Pylon Integrated Dispenser System Universal) is a suspension rack currently flying on F-16C/D Blocks 25/30/32 aircraft. ANG/AFRC currently own 310 PIDSU pylons, and anticipates modifying some to a PIDS+ configuration. INDUSTRY DAY 1.
