Advanced Personal Alerting System (APAS)

The United States Air Force is seeking information from interested companies to support the development of an Advanced Personal Alerting System (APAS) for the Global Aircrew Strategic Network Terminal (GASNT) program. The APAS will provide aircrew alerting communications and will be integrated into the GASNT Increment 2 Block 1 (GASNTi2b1) program. The system should have functional capabilities such as compliance with NTIA Manual of Regulations, real-time voice capability, low latency, and voice audio alerting to at least 128 devices simultaneously. The system should also have system level capabilities such as nuclear survivability, mechanical qualifications, high system reliability and availability, and cybersecurity hardness. • Functional capabilities: compliance with NTIA Manual of Regulations, real-time voice capability, low latency, and voice audio alerting to at least 128 devices simultaneously • System level capabilities: nuclear survivability, mechanical qualifications, high system reliability and availability, and cybersecurity hardness • Programmatic considerations: data rights, technology readiness level, manufacturing readiness level, open source, willingness to work with prime contractors, and supply chain risk management compliance
