The objective of posting these documents for industry comment is to solicit feedback on the program?s goals, objectives, structure and feasibility prior to issuance of the formal Request for Proposal (RFP). A draft RFP is anticipated to be released in the October 2006 timeframe, followed by the formal RFP release in January 2007. The draft documents are located on the PMA-263 website found at http://uav.navair.navy.mil (once on the site, select ?BAMS UAS? on the left side of the screen; links to the documents are on the top of the BAMS page). /////// The Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) will provide a persistent maritime Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data collection and dissemination capability to the fleet. The BAMS UAS will deliver capability enabling the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force (MPRF) to meet the Navy?s maritime ISR requirements. BAMS UAS full operational capability will provide for up to five simultaneous orbits worldwide. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the BAMS UAS is defined as one base unit with sufficient assets, technical data, training systems, and enough spares and support equipment to operationally support one persistent ISR orbit and is planned for FY13. At IOC, the BAMS UAS missions will include, but are not limited to, maritime surveillance, collection of enemy order of battle information, battle damage assessment, port surveillance, communication relay, and support of the following missions - maritime interdiction, surface warfare, battlespace management, and targeting for maritime and littoral strike missions. /////// Comments and recommendations should be sent to the contacts listed below. Comments and recommendations are due no later 18 August 2006. The Government does not intend to respond to comments received nor to individual industry questions.
