The U.S. Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base is seeking industry input through a Sources Sought synopsis and Request for Information for the Helpful Airborne Wireless Communication Ecosystem Yielding Enhanced Sharing (HAWCEYES) initiative, which aims to develop a portable, self-contained wireless communication system to enhance real-time collaboration among test teams on and off aircraft. The system must support at least 32 connected devices using Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth protocols with a minimum 30-meter range, integrate with existing aircraft intercom systems via a U-174 connector, and operate on battery power for a minimum of 30 minutes (60 minutes desired), with supplemental 115VAC connectivity for sustained flight testing. Voice-over-IP software such as TeamSpeak or Mumble compatible with iOS and Android devices is required, and the solution must be delivered in two copies to the 418th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards AFB within 90 days of final design agreement. All contractor employees must pass a criminal history background check per DoD regulations, complete Level I Antiterrorism Awareness training, comply with base security protocols including FPCON and HPCON measures, and are strictly prohibited from possessing weapons on installation property.
