Description
The US Air Force is seeking information from qualified sources to support the crypto modernization upgrade of the E-767 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) fleet. The scope of work includes engineering support, system integration, cybersecurity, and testing. Respondents must provide information on their capabilities to meet the requirements, including access to AWACS system labs, maintenance and operation of the AWACS system, and performance of engineering and integration analysis.
Some key points to consider are:
• The E-767 AWACS fleet will undergo crypto modernization upgrades in a location to be determined within the continental United States (CONUS) with a potential effort in Japan.
• The contract will require extensive maintenance, testing support, pilot crew support, and engineering support specific to the platform.
• The lab assets will support multiple international AWACS projects on a maintenance fee basis.
• The Avionics Integration Lab (AIL) is populated with Government Furnished Property (GFP) and incumbent-owned capital equipment.
