The Government is conducting market research (Information and Planning Purposes only) to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements of engineering services for the sustainment of LANTIRN Navigation Pod for use by the United States Air Force.
The Precision Attack Technical Coordination Program (TCP) provides delivery of technical answers for the questions regarding LANTIRN Navigation Pods to customers. These questions and answer may address repair, technical documentation plus software support for each of the TCP nations that operate various configurations of LANTIRN pods. The TCP furnishes legacy LANTIRN Pod parts repair for these client countries under various repairable item procurements. The newer advanced configurations require even more specialized support that is not totally available through USAF depot repair channels. Targeting and Navigating Pods currently supported by the Precision Attack (TCP) include the Navigation Pod, AN/AAQ-13; Target Pod, AN/AAQ-14; Sharpshooter, AN/AAQ-14(V1); and Pathfinder, AN/AAQ-20 that make-up the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) systems. The TCP's prime responsibility is to ensure the availability for a comprehensive sustainment source.
The Government does not own or have access to the data for these items. The Government has determined that this system is not a commercial item. No samples are available to evaluate.
Additional detatil are in attached RFI and draft PWS.
