The arrays would be towed using cables between 1000 and 4000 feet in length and would weigh up to 5000 lbs. The arrays would be capable of maneuvering relative to the tow aircraft up to +/- 20% of the tow cable length both vertically and laterally, at speeds between 40 and 120 knots. The basic application would be to allow the array to follow a designated path over ground. Responses should be sent in the form of a capability statement and should identify applicable technologies and current capabilities, expected accuracy of following a designated path over ground, areas of risk and ways to mitigate those risks. Security - Respondents should possess the ability to handle secret level material or have the ability to obtain the ability to handle secret level material in under 30 days.
