Description
The U.S. Air Force is seeking commercial‑off‑the‑shelf or non‑developmental‑item solutions to replace obsolete AHRS line‑replaceable units on T‑38A/AT‑38B aircraft. The effort is purely market research (RFI) and does not constitute a solicitation or award. Vendors must demonstrate form‑fit‑function‑interface (F3I) compatibility with existing avionics without aircraft modifications, or otherwise detail required changes. Submissions must include company capabilities, technical approach, ROM cost estimates, and a notional schedule for development, integration, testing, and production of 57 A‑kits + 4 spares and 57 B‑kits + 12 spares.
• Identify COTS/NDI AHRS components that can replace listed LRUs (gyro assemblies, servo‑amplifier, flight director computer, etc.) with no airframe changes.
• Provide ROM cost breakdown for development/integration and production phases, and outline a schedule to field the kits.
• Demonstrate relevant certifications, NSN status, TRL/MRL levels, and prior experience on similar avionics modernization programs.
