- Description
- The purpose of this sources sought notice is to seek information regarding the current level of technology and capability of the commercial sector to replace the current E-6B Structural Data Recorder System (SDRS). The SDRS will be replaced with an Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Crash Survivable Flight Incident Recorder (CSFIR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR) with quick access recorder (QAR) capability. The effort includes system integration, documentation and installation of the CSFIR/FDR system into 16 aircraft. The CSFIR/FDR system will support the E-6B Individual Aircraft Tracking System, Engine Performance Tracking, Training, Safety, Maintenance, and Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance Programs by accurately recording structural, engine, voice, ground operations and flight operations data. The optimum system will record and process data to assist in determining the E-6B service life extension through airframe and engine life monitoring and provide data for incident and maintenance reporting. The contractor shall provide software that will provide the capability for viewing specific data parameters on the aircraft Flight Management Computer (FMC) Multipurpose Control Display Unit (MCDU) or equivalent. The effort also includes the integration, installation, and test of COTS software and or a COTS software suite; referred to as Data Processing Software Suite, that at a minimum processes structural, engine, ground operations and flight operations data from the FDR for display and analysis by safety, maintenance, and engineering personnel. The period of performance will cover a one-year base period for non recurring engineering, training, and logistics and one option period for the installs (aircraft and trainers), training and logistics.
