Stabilized Glide Slope Indicator System

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ intends to procure a Stabilized Glide Slope Indicator System (SGSI) in support of PMS 500s DDG 1000 Program. The tasks cover design, fabrication, testing and delivery of the production representative model, as well as support for integration, installation and checkout. Upon successful completion of developmental test, integration test and first article test the Government may exercise contract options for production and fielding of two systems and spares. A competitive 100% Small Business Set Aside is anticipated. The SGSI program objective is the acquisition and initial support of a stabilized optical landing aid which the pilot uses to visually establish and maintain the proper glide slope for a safe approach and landing aboard DDG 1000 class ships. SGSI is an optical device that projects colored beams of light from a ship to approaching aircraft for the purpose of providing the ideal approach glide/slope. The SGSI contract is a portion of the next generation suite of Visual Landing Aids which will be incorporated into the DDG 1000.
