This procurement consists of modifying a BAT submunition to incorporate a downlooking camera, a GPS unit integrated to the BAT CEU for Guidance & Control, and the video TM. The proposed program will culminate in the simultaneous flight test demonstration of a BDA modified BAT submunition with the testing of a baseline BAT with live warhead. The modified BAT will incorporate the capability to receive inglight differential GPS corrections to approximate military GPS of the tactical system. The vehicle will be assembled using pretested/recovered hardware from the BAT Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) program. The proposed acquisition is restricted to Northrop-Grumman Corporation, Electronics and Systems Integration Division. Northrop-Grumman is the only source with the overall submunition and interface knowledge that is essential to ensure continuity and integrity of the BAT submunition. This acquisition will result in new work under the Army TACMS-BAT EMD Contract. (0338)
