The United States Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Program Office (PO) AFLCMC/WNY, Robins Air Force Base, GA, is conducting market research to identify parties having interest, expertise, and resources to develop Digital Antenna Electronics (DAE) for  multiple Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellation systems.

Currently fielded GPS receivers contribute to this necessary capability but are susceptible to degradation in electronic threat (e.g., jamming, spoofing) environments.  Advanced Anti-Jam (AJ) antenna and/or antenna electronics systems may be leveraged to reduce electronic interference in GPS radio frequency (RF) bandwidths, particularly when employing null-steering and beamforming technologies. 

An RFI for Aircraft Digital Antenna Electronics (DAE) (now Soteria) was previously posted on 17 Dec 2020 at: https://sam.gov/opp/fbbd846e765840ee85dd66bfd0558899/view4.           

Small Business, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned, etc.) per NAICS Code 336413.Provide an electronic response/attachments through e-mail to Eric Dumpert, Ben Price, Patty Yacks, and cc Stephen Dorko within 30 days of this request. On the e-mail subject line include “F-16 Digital Antenna Electronic Unit SSS Response – Company Name).”  

Production, integration, and install of  Jam Resistant Global Positioning System (JRG), Digital Antenna Electronics (DAE) System units to support the Air National Guard (ANG), Air Force Reserve (AFR), and optional Air Combat (AC) Commands on the A-10C aircraft.

The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 336413, which have a corresponding Size standard of 1,250 employees. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identif...

For the interim solution, the USG is pursuing the acquisition of two digital GPS hardening technologies to replace the existing GAS-1 Antenna Electronics with digital nulling (i.e., ability of antenna to remove threat signals from GPS interference) and digital beam steering (i.e., ability to improve extra gain toward GPS satellite).
