- Description
- This announcement constitutes a notice of contract action (FAR 5.201) to upgrade the AN/APG-68(V)9 Radar system software under Phase II development for installation in the USAF F-16 Block 50/52 aircraft. The most significant system capability improvement for the Radar is the addition of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and operational improvements over AN/APG-68(V)5 capabilities. The new software package combined with the upgraded hardware system is intended to improve the current ability of the F-16 weapon system to perform a lethal Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) mission. The contractor must be able to upgrade radar software currently being developed in Phase I unique USAF Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM) development efforts (2004-2006) to the Phase II new capabilities (2005-2008) to include the addition of two new pilot modes - Large SAR processing and Automatic Target Cueing. The contractor will be required to complete integration and support into the aircraft with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Corporation direction. Their concurrent system development to accommodate other USAF requirements is expected to result in a new Operational Flight Program (M5+) for Block 50/52 aircraft (2010). The contractor must demonstrate an understanding of the government flight-testing program needed to integrate the Radar system. The contractor must be able to field the final Radar system in 2009 in conjunction with new M5+ aircraft capabilities. This is a pre-solicitation notice. The F-16 System Program Office (SPO) anticipates a sole source acquisition for this contractual effort to Northrop Grumman Corporation, Baltimore, MD pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) for USAF.

All responses from responsible sources will be fully considered; however, receipt of responses will not be acknowledged. All respondents are reminded that the Government must receive all responses within 45 days publication of this notice. Subcontracting opportunities should be addressed to Northrop Grumman Corporation, Baltimore, MD; Point of contact at Northrop Grumman is Mr. David Wallace at (410) 993- 3823.
