Description

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only, which as part of market research, is being issued in accordance with (IAW) Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) part 10. This is not a solicitation/Request for Proposal, a Request for Quotation, an Invitation for Bids, or a solicitation and no contract shall be resultant from this synopsis, Aerospace Management Systems Division (AFLCMC/ESA) will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this RFI. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's (AFLCMC) Electronic Systems Directorate, Aerospace Management Systems Division (ESA), Air Traffic System Branch (ESAA) Program Management Office (PMO), as a Technology Project on the investment master list (IML), located at Hanscom Air Force Base (AFB), Massachusetts is requesting information from industry to assist in the planning for the future acquisition of a Multifunction Tactical Radar System (MTRS). Phase 1 of the Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for MTRS, which was awarded on 23 February 2024, was completed during February 2025 and currently Phase II is underway with planning to end FY Q4 2026. This RFI is to continue on-going market research to understand and keep in touch with industry base. MTRS is being developed to execute four missions, which are: (1) ATC surveillance, (2) Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2), (3) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and (4) Weather Sensing. The Government encourages industry partners to supplement their formal response by identifying any existing system, subsystems and/or major components (e.g., AESA panels, T/R modules, resource manager) that are representative of their proposed design and meet MTRS packaging and transport requirements (e.g., fit, form and function). Please provide this information within five working days of receiving this RFI, so we can arrange further discussions to evaluate the components' applicability and determine the next steps. The Government is looking for responses to the below questions for potential complete or partial system solutions or enabling technologies. Please respond to the best of your ability to as many questions as possible. Solutions should be actionable within the next year (FY2027). Also, address your ability to manufacture and deliver initial pre-production unit(s) (PPUs) in 29 months after award. DESCRIPTION: The Department of War (DoW) transformation vision relies heavily on more expeditionary and agile joint forces which in turn places increased emphasis on aviation assets for deployment, employment, sustainment, and redeployment. To support this vision, the Air Force requires the ability to launch and recover sorties from an agile network of airbases with varied capabilities in all weather conditions while also providing localized situational awareness for the protection of those airbases. Future ATC systems adaptability is critical to meet short and enduring missions. The MTRS shall detect airborne targets and produce dat…
