Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) Illuminator Unit (DIU) Re-design

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a new task order for a re-design of the Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) Illuminator Unit (DIU). The DIU design update is intended to spectrally match the current DSMAC Illuminator and remain compliant with the physical and functional requirements of Tomahawk Block V Performance Specification. The key aspects of this project include: • Re-design of the DIU to mitigate material obsolescence and ensure continued availability of the DSMAC for all Tomahawk variants • The DIU is discontinued and no longer available within the marketplace, with no suitable drop-in replacements • The DSMAC is critical to the precision terminal guidance for the Tomahawk, allowing the missile to accurately identify and strike its intended target • Raytheon is the sole developer, designer, and manufacturer for the TACTOM Missile and possesses the current configuration and manufacturing data for the Tomahawk Block IV and Block V All-Up Round (AUR) missile.
