Range Instrumentation IDIQ

NAWCWD intends to award a new sole source contract to Collins Aerospace (CA) for the continued support of the CRIIS system, TCTS II system, P6 system, and AARI-2 system. This contract is an expansion of previous sole source contracts awarded to CA, including FA8678-10-C-0058 and FA8678-16-D-0048, which included the development of the CRIIS system, the integration of the CRIIS system into F-22 aircraft, and the implementation of new secure encryption algorithms. This new potential contract will provide continued development of the Collins proprietary GPS related system software and hardware. Systems include Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System (CRIIS), Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS II), P6, Air-to-Air Range Infrastructure 2nd Generation (AARI-2), and other advanced systems. Tasking under this potential contract will provide for development of the CRIIS, TCTS II, P6 and AARI-2 systems software and hardware to incorporate updates, improvements and enhancements of tactical capabilities. In addition, the contract will include the delivery of both prototype and production hardware and software for test asset systems and subsystems, replacement subsystems parts and upgraded parts for the continued development and sustainment of the GPS sensor systems family.
