This is a follow up event to the previous Industry Day held on 28 Nov-1 Dec 2016. 1.2 THIS IS AN INDUSTRY DAY ONLY. This event does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This event does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, the Air Force is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this event; all costs associated with responding to this event will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this event does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the potential responders to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. 2.0 Background 2.1 The AN/APQ-166 Strategic Radar system currently installed on the B-52H fleet was originally fielded in the 1950s, last upgraded to its present configuration in the early 1980s, and is approaching the end of its useful life. The B-52 Radar Modernization Program (RMP) will replace the AN/APQ-166 radar installed on the B-52H with a fully supportable system that maintains all current B-52H mission functions, incorporates the additional capabilities of ground moving target indicator/moving target track, surface target search/surface target track and electronic protection, and provides a growth path for new and enhanced capabilities. 2.2 Planned Production: Initial production radar kit deliveries and installation are anticipated to begin in FY23 and continue until all B-52 aircraft have been retrofitted. Production radar kit installations will be limited to an average of 17 available aircraft in any given year. 3.0 Information for Radar Suppliers 3.1 AFGSC/A5B and AFLCMC/WWB is seeking additional information and feedback from the candidate radar suppliers.
