- Description
- THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE. ***INDUSTRY DAY*** The Program Executive Officer, Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons (PEO (U&W)) and PMA-266, Navy and Marine Corps Multi-Mission Tactical Unmanned Air Systems Program Office are surveying industry for current Airborne Radar/Antenna capabilities that can serve to meet MQ-8C Fire Scout (MQ-8C) RADAR capability requirements. The MQ-8C is an unmanned U.S. Navy vertical lift aerial platform made from a modified commercial Bell 407. The information obtained through this effort will be used to further assist in the formulation of requirements, and acquisition approaches/plans for future investment. The MQ-8C can operate from all air capable ships as well as confined area land base and is designed for modular mission payloads, autonomous vertical launch and recovery, autonomous waypoint navigation, and command override capability. The Navy's desire is to produce and integrate MQ-8C Radar/Antenna capability enhancements for implementation in the 2019 timeframe - concurrent with other planned improvements. NAVAIR will host an Industry Day for the Radar Effort on 29 July 2015. The Industry Day will be conducted at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center, Center Hall, 44219 Airport Road, California, MD 20619. Check-In for attendees will occur between 0800 and 0830. Industry Day will begin at 0830 and briefings will continue through 1130. Lunch will occur from 1130 to 1300 and will not be provided as part of Industry Day. One-on-one meetings for potential contractors will be scheduled from 1300 to 1700. This Industry Day will provide an opportunity for Navy leadership to brief industry on highlights of the RADAR capability requirements and tasks, as well as, review proposal preparation procedures and the source selection process. A question and answer session will be conducted after the briefings. One-on-one meetings for potential contractors will be individually scheduled during the one-on-one timeframe. Only those registered participants who attend Industry Day and intend to provide a RADAR for the MQ-8C may be considered eligible to also participate in one-on-one meetings. The Government reserves the right to extend the one-on-one timeframe to allow for additional meetings. Pre-registration for the Radar Industry Day is required.
