Overview This RFI is for a Sources Sought to upgrade the current Integrated Avionics Computer (IAC) for Navy T-6B, and Army T-6D Texan II (hereafter referred to as T-6) aircraft in order to comply with the 22 June 06, SECDEF Memo, Reducing Preventable Accidents. This market survey is being conducted to identify potential SOSSEC Consortium member sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, resources and experience to meet the requirements for upgrading the IAC for the T-6.�� Background The T-6 is a single-engine, two-seat primary trainer designed to train student pilots and navigators in basic skills common to U.S. Air Force, Naval, and Army aviation. Produced by Textron Aviation Defense, LLC, the T-6 is a military trainer that the U.S. Government operates with a fleet of about 750 T-6 aircraft. Stepped-tandem seating in the single cockpit places one crewmember in front of the other, with the student and instructor positions being interchangeable. The T-6 has three configurations: T-6A with federated avionics, T-6B with integrated avionics, and T-6D with integrated avionics. Requirements Potential upgrade shall provide the aircraft with a replacement integrated avionics computer with higher reliability and additional capabilities. The replacement integrated avionics computer will replace the existing IAC and the associated software, within the existing flight management computing system, and will require minimal disturbance to interfacing hardware and other systems. The preferred approach for this effort would be a non-proprietary open system architecture using Non-Developmental Item or �Commercial-Off-The-Shelf� components.� At a minimum, the installed system�s certification basis shall be in accordance with Title CFR FAA Part 23 Airworthiness Standards: Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, and Commuter Category Airplanes, Title 14 CFR FAA Part 91 General Operating and Flight Rules standards and AC 23.1309-1C Equipment, Systems, and Installations in Part 23 Airplanes, and AC 23.1311-1B Installation of Electronic Displays in Part 23 Airplanes. The replacement integrated avionics computer will provide video for three (3) multifunction displays (MFD) per cockpit and one (1) Heads up display (HUD). It will also receive inputs from an Up Front Control Panel and Bezel buttons on MFD. The MFDs feature available pages for Primary Flight Display, Navigation, EICAS, maintenance status and bits, and tactical situation display. The following capabilities are required. Primary Flight Display Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) Flight Management System (FMS) (RNAV1/RNAV2 LPV capable) WAAS enabled GPS Receiver Controlled Flight Into Terrain � Prevention (TAWS Class B minimum) Mission Training Software Period of Performance:� TBD Funding: TBD Primary Point of Contact: Linda Sasser, SOSSEC POC lsasser@sossecinc.com Phone: 603-458-5529 Secondary Point of Contact: John Nunziato, SOSSEC POC jnunziato@sossecinc.com Phone: 603-458-5529
