Huffstetler, Jr., Contracting Officer, (256) 313-4329 The proposed contract action is a change order under the active Comanche Dem/Val contract DAAJ09-91-C-A004. The Boeing Sikorsky Comanche Team (A Joint Venture), developer of the Comanche System, shall conduct a Market Analysis for a Fire Control Radar (FCR) to be integrated on the Comanche System. Boeing Sikorsky is responsible for integration of the FCR, and in accordance with their best value contracting procedures, will select a contractor to develop, qualify, and test an FCR for the Comanche. The FCR will satisfy the Army's requirement for an adverse weather capability for detection, classification, location, and prioritization of ground vehicles, air defense units, hovering and flying helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft. The FCR must meet the Government's performance specification, schedule requirements, budget restraints, fit a two level maintenance system concept, provide reliability consistent with the overall weapon system reliability, and fit the mission computer cluster. The radar will conform with Comanche low observable strategy and be a light weight, extended range, high fidelity product, with advanced technology characteristics capable of potential future technical growth. Compatibility with existing airframe, armament including RF Hellfire missiles, and targeting systems within existing airframe space, weight, and power constraints is critically important. Contractor employees shall possess clearances at the SECRECT level. Portions of the SOW requirements are classified at the SECRET level, therefore, any firm interested in subcontracting possibilities must have a facility capable of storing SECRET information.
