Electric Modernization Upgrade

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division seeks a small‑team‑friendly production, deployment, and sustainment process for a modular COTS‑based capability for the MH‑60R Seahawk helicopter. The effort includes designing a lightweight, reusable packaging solution compatible with Joint Modular Intermodal Containers or Pelican cases, and optimizing the chassis and installation/removal procedures for shipboard and austere environments. The government requests proposals that address process design, packaging, and human‑factors optimization, with the goal of achieving an initial operational capability by Q1 FY2028. • Develop a pilot‑lot production process that can be executed by a limited team, covering material handling, assembly, programming, inspection, testing, configuration‑management, packaging, and acceptance. • Create a deployable, low‑overhead support process for provisioning and fielding the system globally with minimal specialized infrastructure. • Design a rugged, reusable packaging plan that meets air‑transport requirements and protects components during storage and movement. • Engineer chassis modifications and installation/removal methods that reduce time, tooling, and personnel requirements in shipboard and austere settings. • Submit a cover page explicitly referencing solicitation BAA‑N6893625S0001‑0001.
