Description
The Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) is seeking sources and information for a Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS), AN/AAR-57, and an Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasure (ATIRCM) System, AN/ALQ-212 , for production, engineering services and contractor logistic support. The CERDEC is anticipating production of up to 2,000 CMWS and 400 ATIRCM Systems, respectively over the next 5 years. The delivery of the first 30 CMWS shall be 180 days after contrac t award, and a sustained monthly production rate of at least 30 CMWS will be required. The delivery of the first 4 ATIRCM Systems shall be 12 months after contract award and a sustained monthly production rate of at least 8 ATIRCM Systems will be required . These systems shall be installed on rotary and fixed-wing aircraft to detect the launch and flight of Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) and provide audible and visual warnings to the aircrew. The ATIRCM/CMWS must be integrated to meet the flight and opera tional environment requirements of the DODs rotary wing aircraft, including the UH/MH-60, CH/MH-47 & AH-64A/D. The CMWS must be integrated to meet the flight and operational environment requirements of fixed-wing aircraft, including the RC-12, C-12 & UC- 35. The CMWS includes the Improved Countermeasure Dispenser (ICMD) that activates expendables to provide the missile countermeasures. The ICMD shall have the capability to monitor munitions firings upon a system or manual cue. The ICMD must be capable of being loaded with, and dispensing three or more types of expendables, such as flares, chaff and smoke/aerosols. The CMWS shall be composed of the following components; an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) supporting up to 6 Electro Optical Missile Sensors an d up to 4 ICMDs, where an ICMD is defined as 1 sequencer and 2 smart dispenser payload modules. The ATIRCM System shall be composed of the CMWS, an Infrared (IR)-Jam Head, IR-Jam Laser and Jam Head Control Unit. The ATIRCM System may consist of up to 3 I R-Jam Heads and associated IR-Jam Lasers. The CMWS shall have established interfaces with the UH/MH/HH-60, CH/MH-47, AH-64, RC/UC/C-12 and UC-35 aircrafts and not require unique configurations, software loads, etc. for installation on aircraft of the same type. Interested sources must be able to provide Form, Fit and Functional (F3) equivalent Shop Replaceable Units (SRU) spares for already fielded CMWS. The engineering services are anticipated to include, engineering studies and analysis, advanced IR mis sile jam code development, system software development and sustainment, logistics, system integration and installation, and testing support services. The services effort is envisioned to provide support for all CMWS already fielded as well as CMWS that wi ll be produced under the planned production contract. Additionally, Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) will be required. CLS will include support from Field Service Representatives, Engineering, Documentation, Training, and Deployment support, and Depot Rep air and Maintenance of approximately 459 ATIRCM Systems and 2,400 CMWS. The Government does not possess a validated Level II, Technical Data Package for the ATIRCM System or CMWS. Any interested source shall provide written details of its experience with similar systems technology, details of complex equivalent production capabilities, ability to provide F3 equivalent SRUs for fielded CMWS and the ability to provide the services des cribed above for the ATIRCM System and CMWS. Additionally, information on the ability to produce ATIRCM Systems and CMWS in accordance with the Governments delivery schedule and at the required production rates must be provided.
