- Description
- 1. The Naval Air Systems Command, PMA209 (Air Combat Electronics), is conducting market research to identify qualified, experienced, and interested potential sources for Flight Management System software modules that support contemporary Performance Based Navigation (RNP RNAV) capability, which shall be Future Airborne Capabilities Environment (FACE TM ) Edition 2.1 conformant, for integration into multiple USN/USMC platforms (fixed and rotary wing). This market research is focused on concepts consistent with possible integration into platform(s) starting in FY2019 timeframe. 2. This market research will consist of this notification and an Industry Day One-on-One for those who need clarification or desire discussion to help refine their response. Industry Day One-on-One can be requested by contacting the Point of Contact listed below within 10 business days of this notification. Industry One-on-One must take place within 30 business days of this notice. Responses to this market research notification are due NLT 60 business days from this notice. 3.

Solely at the Government's discretion, vendors responding to this notice may be allowed time to brief their responses to the Government on a case-by-case basis. 5. Information Sought: a. Identify starting baseline of RNP RNAV software solution and describe what efforts are required for FACE 2.1 conformance, to include estimated SLOC impacts (New, Modified, Reuse) b. Characterize any computing resource requirements (e.g., CPU performance, minimum memory) necessary to support your RNP RNAV software solution c. Using the RNP RNAV FRD Rev B Change 1 dated 8 Dec, to include Appendix A, B and C, identify & trace RNP RNAV software module architecture, including function descriptions for each module, data model to include interface assumptions for external functions d. Identify any potential variances based on integration into platform types (rotary wing/fixed wing) to include tactical/operational requirements e. Identify test strategy for FACE conformance, and test strategy for RNP RNAV capability performance f. Identify pedigree of RNP RNAV software solution (i.e. DO-178B/C, MIL-STD-882, Design Assurance Level, etc.) g. Identify artifacts and effort to generate artifacts to support safety certifications for software solution (safety of flight, DO-178B/C). h. Identify any artifacts anticipated to assist 3 rd party integration of RNP RNAV solution into the targeted platform i. Identify corporate roadmap (to include upgrades, sustainability, etc.) for RNP RNAV software solution j. Identify any vendors and relationships involved in RNP RNAV software solution and relevant qualifications k. Identify software design philosophy/approach/practices, indicating familiarity with developing aviation and safety critical software l. Identify preferred procurement method (acquisition & sustainment) and, if applicable, any license quantity pricing and measure (example: 1-10, 11-50, 51-100, etc. incrementally stepping to 3000 aircraft) m. Identify ROM cost & schedule estimate to include any major activities (i.e. Non-Recurring Engineering, Test, etc.). NOTE: This ROM cost & schedule estimate is NOT binding and will ONLY be used for planning purposes 6.
