- Description
- The Program Executive Office for Weapons and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) (PMA263) is releasing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to seek proposals for research support in developing innovative solutions for the Maritime and Littoral Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission. Concepts developed under this BAA may be considered in the development of future unmanned ISR systems and system improvements. The Navy’s desire is to develop ISR mission system enhancements for implementation in the 2013 timeframe, concurrent with other planned ISR improvements. The U.S. Navy is in the process of recapitalizing its land-based maritime ISR capabilities, currently provided by the aging P-3 and EP-3 aircraft. The Navy believes that the integration of manned and unmanned systems enables the creation of an overarching maritime architecture that can effectively enhance ISR mission performance and result in improved cost and mission effectiveness. The manned portion of the Navy’s Family of Systems (FoS) with Broad Area Maritime ISR capabilities that will replace the P-3 and EP-3 are the Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA/P-8A) and the Aerial Common Sensor (ACS) aircraft. The unmanned portion is the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance System (BAMS), the VTUAV (Fire Scout), and the Tactical Control System (TCS). The desired outcome of this study is a capability based definition and overarching systems architecture that will support the development of the unmanned portion of the FoS for maritime ISR. The complete Broad Agency Announcement and all associated documentation will be listed at http://www.navair.navy.mil (choose “Doing Business” from the left side of the page; select “Open Solicitations”; select N00019-05-R-0071). All associated documentation (Government Furnished Information, DD254, etc) will also be posted at the above website. Submit any questions in writing to jessica.blackwell@navy.mil. Questions and answers will be posted at the above web site. All updates to the BAA will be posted to the above web site. It is highly recommended that interested offerors continually check the web site. NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (19-MAY-2005). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 08-AUG-2005, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
