Edmond, Phone (301)757-5252, AIR-2.3.2.2.3 E-MAIL: edmondjp@navair.navy.mil, edmondjp@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Systems Command intends to negotiate and award a contract to DRS Precision Echo, Inc (DRSPE)for the procurement of up to 30 Acoustic Data Recorders (ADR) for the P-3C Update III aircraft. These ADR's will record digital buoy data as well as analog buoy data. The recorder must follow the commercially supported DTF-1 recording standard. Specifically, the contractor will be responsible for all the non-recurring hardware engineering efforts and recurring production tasks required to support integration of the ADR into the Acoustic Subsystem on the P-3C Update III aircraft. DRSPE is currently integrating the ADR recorder on the P-3C Block Modification Upgrade Program (BMUP). In order to retain commonality between BMUP and the Update III aircraft,NAVAIR will contract with DRS, Precision Echo directly for the ADR recorder. Posted 02/09/99 (W-SN296289). (0040)
