- Description
- 1. This is Amendment 0001 to synopsis AAC685ARSS080424 for DUAL PURPOSE AMMUNITION FOR THE F-35 AIRCRAFT GUN SYSTEM (GAU-22A). The purpose of this amendment is to amend the original synopsis with additional information. The planned scope of effort for this Air Force procurement is upon a successful Foreign Comparative Test evaluation in early FY11, the 25mm x137 Frangible Armor Piercing (FAP) combat round will become a qualified round for the GAU-22A/U gun system. To integrate this combat round onto the F-35 during the F-35's SDD program, our budget submission will be made during the Air Combat Command (ACC) POM12 build using the Program Element (PE) 27142. Funding for this round will include funds for testing of the rounds on aircraft test (F-35), additional funds for a medium caliber SPO, and specific round lethality assessment. 2. ACC plans to budget the following increments for on aircraft testing 130K rounds delivery through FY13. 3. Upon successful on aircraft testing of this round, ACC is additionally planning to fund support for War Readiness Materials (WRM) inventory and for minimal annual training use. WRM requirements will be determined by the MAJCOMs' planning factors. Based upon existing requirements, it is expected that the WRM requirement over a period of 10 years is an expected outlay of $125M. 4. Closing date remains unchanged from 13 June 2008. Closing time 4:00 pm Central remains unchanged.
