AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Systems Command, through its Air Combat Electronic Program Office (PMA-209), intends to issue an order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement with Rockwell Collins Government Systems for the enhancement of the ARC-210 radio system. The contract focuses on implementing an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) that will use the RT-1851(C) radio as the baseline while preserving its form, fit, and function. Key additions include integrating airborne UHF data link capability and embedded programmable cryptographic functions to improve the radio’s performance fleet-wide. This comprehensive effort encompasses program management, engineering, hardware and software development, testing, and data deliverables to meet the specified operational requirements. Rockwell Collins, as the sole developer and proprietary rights holder of the RT-1851(C) radio, is uniquely positioned as the only source able to accomplish the required modifications. The contract period extends through September 30, 2009, and the acquisition will follow the federal acquisition regulation clause allowing for sole-source procurement due to the unique capabilities and proprietary nature of the product. This program supports the Department of Defense’s mission to upgrade and maintain critical communications equipment by ensuring the radios meet evolving operational needs while leveraging Rockwell Collins’ expertise and proprietary technology.
