Description
The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) is conducting market research for its Advanced Information Warfare Antennas (AIWA) program. The RFI seeks manufacturers capable of producing four distinct antenna systems – a Very/Ultra‑High‑Frequency Transmit Array, a High‑Frequency Direction‑Finding antenna, a New Graywing Development antenna, and a Next‑Generation AS‑4683 antenna – under a build‑to‑print, Level 3 Technical Data Package that will be supplied by the government. Respondents should focus on manufacturing capacity, quality‑control processes, and production throughput rather than design work. The RFI allows a combined 32‑page response if all four antennas are covered, with each antenna limited to eight pages plus a two‑page administrative section. An industry day will be scheduled before the future RFP, and a draft TDP is expected to be released at that time.
• Identify qualified manufacturing sources for high‑frequency and direction‑finding antennas.
• Demonstrate production capabilities, quality‑assurance systems, and capacity to meet anticipated annual quantities (to be defined later).
• Provide recommendations for partial or full‑solution delivery across any of the four antenna families.
• Prepare a single PDF (max 32 pages) if responding to all antennas; otherwise, separate submissions are acceptable.
• Anticipated response deadline: 16 Oct 2026 (extended).
