Description
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is conducting market research to identify potential industry sources capable of performing a comprehensive engineering study on the AN/MST-T1(V) Miniature Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-MUTES) transmitters. The study aims to identify all obsolescent parts within the transmitters and associated components and provide a detailed path forward to refurbish or replace them. The desired end-state is a foundational analysis that will define the scope, cost, technical requirements, and timeline for an eventual modernization project to ensure system sustainment out to 2045.
• The Mini-MUTES is a critical asset for aircrew survivability training, simulating contested threat environments.
• The system is experiencing sustainment challenges due to extensive Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS).
• The study should provide a detailed analysis and a recommended path forward to mitigate the effects of obsolescence in the Mini-MUTES transmitters.
• Interested vendors are requested to provide a white paper or capability statement addressing their ability to conduct a comprehensive engineering study.
