Intent to Sole Source - NINJA RF FRER, Annual Support, and Warranty

The US Air Force intends to purchase a NINJA RF Front End Retrofit system, as well as the Annual Support and Warranty, via sole source to Black River Systems. This system is required for the legacy RFFE model which is obsolete due to supply chain issues impacting warranties and maintenance. The NINJA system is a C-sUAS family of products that detects, disrupts, and defeats hostile unmanned aircraft. The Radio Frequency Front End (RFFE) is essential for optimized detection and mitigation at longer ranges. • The NINJA 4925 RFFE is a drop-in replacement for the legacy Ninja hardware front end that has been discontinued due to parts obsolescence. • The new RFFE features fully integrated support for all Ninja RF signal bands in one package and enables easy integration into existing installations while increasing supply-chain availability. • It increases peak transmit power for more effective countermeasures and now supports RF band agile configuration for swarms and mass attack mitigation. • This requirement will also include support and warranty.
