EMU Electric Modernization Upgrade

Solicitation # BAA-N6893625S0001-0001

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division is seeking a partner to establish a standardized production, deployment, and sustainment framework for a modular capability integrated into MH-60R Seahawk helicopters. The current ad-hoc system lacks defined material flow, quality control, and efficient software deployment, leading to high lifecycle costs and reduced operational availability. With an initial operational capability target of Q1 FY2028, the government requires a lightweight, repeatable process that can be managed by a small team without relying on cost-prohibitive large-scale depot models. The scope of work focuses on three primary areas: designing streamlined processes for production, deployment, and sustainment; developing a rugged, reusable packaging plan compatible with global air transport; and optimizing the chassis and installation hardware for human factors to simplify deployment in austere or shipboard environments. Interested parties must submit responses by December 1, 2026, referencing solicitation N6893625S0001-0001.
