Description

As published on SAM.gov.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded a contract to Kratos Microwave, Inc., San Jose, CA, for acquisition of equipment for down converter modules to support the Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE-3) radar system.

Kratos owns the rights to all proprietary information necessary to conduct manufacture, repair, and test of these assets. As such, Kratos is the only qualified and authorized manufacturing source capable of meeting the FAA requirement for serviceable assets used for repair of the ASDE-3 surveillance systems.
