The Medium Range Surveillance product line at the USCG Aviation Logistics Center is conducting market research to determine suppliers described as follows: TELEPHONICS APS-143B(V3) AND C(V3) RADAR SYSTEMS -- SUSTAINING ENGINEERING SUPPORT BACKGROUND: The US Coast Guard (USCG) operates three HU-25D model aircraft manufactured by Dassault Falcon Jet and thirteen HC-144A (Casa CN-235) aircraft manufactured by Airbus Military. The HU-25 is scheduled for retirement in 2014 and will be replaced by the HC-144A. The HU-25D model and HC-144A aircraft types are equipped with Telephonic's APS-143 radar systems. Currently, three operational HU-25D models are stationed at Corpus Christi, Texas; and the HC-144A aircraft is stationed at Mobile Alabama, Miami, Florida and the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The USCG tentatively plans to purchase a total of thirty-six HC-144A aircraft to be assigned to air stations throughout the Coast Guard's Area of Operations.
