The United States Government (USG) Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (ACC-RI) is seeking sources with innovative approaches, designs or products in the manufacturing of the Modernized Radar Frequency Interferometer (M-RFI).

The M-RFI is a digital receiver-based system that provides accurate information under ever-changing battlefield conditions and intentional electromagnetic interference. Modern target acquisition, threat identification, and Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) systems must function at longer ranges and rapidly locate and identify targets to preserve both weapon systems lethality and aircraft survivability.

The system must perform target acquisition and cueing for the fire control radar system in the AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopter. It must also deliver warning of radar directed anti-aircraft threats and serve as the controller for an integrated aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) system. The system must provide high sensitivity and precision angle of attack in a lightweight, modular configuration suitable for airborne or ground-based platforms, both manned and unmanned. The system must also operate independent of other sensors to provide enhanced situational awareness.
