IFFIS MODE 5

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to request a proposal and negotiate on a sole-source basis with Lockheed Martin Systems Integration (LMSI), 1801 State Route 17C, Owego, New York, 13827-3998 for the design, development, test, and integration of a Mode 5 Identification Friend or Foe Interrogator Subsystem (IFFIS) to the MH-60R ARPDD AN/APS-147 radar system. This procurement will include sustaining engineering for the development of a production engineering change proposal to incorporate Mode 5 IFFIS in to the MH-60R production line, systems/project management, and provide related logistics and engineering support for a cost reimburseable type contract. This effort will upgrade a mode to the existing AN/APS-147 radar which will need to operate seamlessly within the overall MH-60R mission systems architecture. This includes integration with other radar modes within the AN/APS-147. This contract will be awarded on a sole-source basis to Lockheed Martin Systems Integration – Owego, which as the developer and integrator of the MH-60R mission avionics system, software, and overall architecture, is the only known source with the knowledge, experience, and proprietary technical data required to perform these tasks within the necessary time frame. Numbered Note 22 applies.
