- Description
- This effort is sole source for the following reasons. The AN/AQS-20/X tow cable is custom manufactured by Cogent Defense systems. The tow cable purchases include both the bulkhead connector attached to the tow body and its mating, or ?wet end? connector located on one end of the tow cable. These connectors utilize a proprietary fiber optic technology necessary to withstand the harsh submarine environment and the tremendous forces generated by towing. This technology is solely manufactured by Cogent Defense Systems. The costs associated with having another contractor reverse engineer the wet end connector required to mate with the tow body would be excessive and would negate any benefits associated with a competitive procurement.
