USAF F-16 Next-Generation Mission Compute (NGMC) Upgrade for Combat Capabilities for F-16, Blocks 40/42/50/52

The United States Air Force (USAF) is seeking information from potential sources for the design, development, manufacture, and integration of a Next-Generation Mission Compute (NGMC) upgrade for combat capabilities for USAF F-16 Blocks 40/42/50/52. The NGMC program aims to deliver a significant increase in reliability and processing performance while maintaining compatibility with the existing F-16 infrastructure. • The NGMC must be a form, fit, and function (FFF) replacement for the legacy Modular Mission Computer (MMC), utilizing the same physical space and existing aircraft wiring where possible. • The solution must be designed for efficient, cost-effective installation and a two-level maintenance concept. • The NGMC will be a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) based solution, with hardware conforming to DoD-mandated SOSA standards. • The Agile Mission Suite (AMS) Government Reference Architecture (GRA) will be used for the software framework where applicable. • Respondents must address their technical approach, open systems experience, fixed-wing aircraft experience, manufacturing readiness, supply chain security, FMS compatibility and exportability, and past performance.
