- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command intends to issue a delivery order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement for engineering support, analysis, and risk reduction efforts in support of a potential alternate payload for BLK IV TACTOM and the Tomahawk Weapon System. This effort and analysis will include assessment of impacts of a alternate payload with respect to SWaP-C and various systems including, but not limited to, the Guidance Electronics Unit - Replacement (GEU-R), Operationally Embedded Software (OES), navigation systems, and avionics. Additionally, this effort will include assessment of initial design(s), interface controls, and specifications for replacement of the existing WDU-36 warhead with an alternate payload. For the purposes of this contract, NAVAIR intends to award the effort to Raytheon Missile Systems, P.O. Box 11337, Bldg 9022 M/S K1, Tucson, AZ 85734-1337. Since 1998, Raytheon has been the sole developer, designer, and manufacturer of the BLK IV Tactical Tomahawk Missile and as such solely possesses the data rights to the current configuration technical data packages for the BLK IV Tomahawk Missile. Raytheon currently manages the key requirements, interfaces, integration, and verification documents for the Tomahawk Weapons System. An alternate payload will require extensive integration with the BLK IV Tomahawk Missile, particularly the GEU-R and OES. The integration will require specific engineering design data for the BLK IV electrical, firmware, software and functional interfaces. The systems/subsystems interfaces required to develop the integration designs include the guidance and control system and executive computer control software, among others. Because detailed knowledge of the BLK IV Tomahawk Missile is required to perform the services and engineering support necessary, Raytheon is the only source capable of accomplishing the integration of this requirement in the required timeframe without significant duplication of cost. This effort requires access to "Military Critical Technical Data" requiring a DD Form 1234, and the data associated with the Tomahawk Missile is export controlled and is not available to foreign sources or representatives.
