- This market survey is to locate a qualified manufacturer who is capable to design, develop and manufacture a Doppler Navigation Set (DNS), previous procured as AN/ASN-157, contained in a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The DNS is a commercial of f the shelf (COTS) and non-developmental item (NDI) that provides highly accurate 3-D velocity and navigation data to display in the AH-64C/D Longbow Apache Helicopter. The equipment offered in response to this market survey must meet the BAE System Perfo rmance Specification, R201A191A100, for the AN/ASN-157 Doppler Navigation Set and the provisions of Installation and Acceptance Test Document AV-IT5845-001A. Only those offerors who can meet the total technical and delivery requirements with a fully quali fied ASN-157 DNS that meets Form, Fit and Function requirements should respond. Offerors must provide proof of their ability, in response to this market survey, to the procuring activity no later 28 March 2008. The Government is not planning a qualificat ion test of equipment prior to Formal Solicitation. Offerors proof of their ability to meet Government requirements shall, as a minimum, include the following: A. Equipment availability and validated bench and flight (helicopter) test data t o show the offeror's capability to meet Apache Longbow operational requirements. B. Availability of operational manuals (draft manuals acceptable). C. Ability to meet government total delivery requirement commencing 11 months after awar d of contract at a rate of 11 sets per month throughout the performance period of the contract. The production DNS to be procured, in response to the formal Army solicitation shall, as a minimum, have the following capabilities: A.
