Description
The United States Air Force is seeking information regarding potential sources for the repair or replacement of 30 electronic modules integral to the AN/ALQ-161A Electronic Countermeasures System. The modules were originally designed and produced in the early 1980s, and the proprietary manufacturing data and intellectual property reside with the original manufacturers. The former vendor, who had provided services for these items since 2002, is no longer able to provide a sustainable or effective repair solution due to the lack of manufacturing documentation and the widespread unavailability of necessary components.
• The modules in question include amplifiers, repeaters, and preamplifier/filter assemblies.
• The Air Force is looking for potential sources that can provide repair or replacement services for these modules.
• The modules are critical components of the AN/ALQ-161A Electronic Countermeasures System.
• The Air Force is seeking information on potential sources that can provide a sustainable and effective repair solution for these modules.
