The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement for national maintenance and logistics support services of Northrop Grumman manufactured Rapid Deployment Voice Switch (RDVS), as well as technical support only of Enhanced Terminal Voice Switch (ETVS), and Small Tower Voice Switch (STVS) systems, which provide voice communications switching in Air Traffic Control Facilities and Automated Flight Service Station facilities. These systems also provide voice communications among flight service specialists, air traffic controllers and aircraft. The RDVS system request includes requirements for logistics and component repair service; the provision of consumable items and materials; component exchange and repair services; test bed system repair and maintenance; maintenance engineering services. The ETVS and STVS only require maintenance engineering services.
