Sources Sought/RFI - AFLCMC/ESAN FMS Brazil Radar Modernization

The U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Foreign Military Sales branch is conducting a Sources Sought/RFI to gather market information on commercial, highly mobile radar systems that can replace the Brazilian Air Force’s existing GCA‑2000 and PAR‑2000 equipment. The solicitation seeks capabilities for both Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) and Precision Approach Radar (PAR), emphasizing rapid transportability (KC‑390 aircraft), quick setup (4–8 hours), high detection probabilities, extended range, and robust communications (UHF/VHF, encrypted voice). Respondents must detail system performance, transport logistics, maintenance, sustainment, and cost/production schedules, and indicate small‑business status. Responses are due 08 Oct 2026; the government may issue a formal RFP later. • Identify commercial radar solutions meeting the detailed threshold and objective performance metrics. • Demonstrate transportability by KC‑390, rapid deployment, and minimal disassembly. • Provide certification compliance (FAA/ICAO, ATCRBS, Mode 5, cybersecurity, etc.). • Outline maintenance, training, sustainment, and worldwide logistics support. • Submit cost breakdown (unit production, NRE) and production capacity/timeline.
