## Description

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed a VOR Minimum Viable Product (MVP) requirements set in response to industry feedback received from a November 2025 FAA VOR Market Survey. The MVP requirements set focuses on the essential capabilities needed to moderniize legacy VOR Systems while addressing equipment obsolescence, diminishing parts availability, and long-term sustainment needs.

This Market Survey is intended to serve as a starting point for industry engagement and is not intended to prescribe a unique FAA design solution. The FAA seeks to understand how existing Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products align with the MVP requirements and to obtain industry recommendations for closing any identified gaps while minimizing cost, schedule, technical risk, and long-term sustainment burdens.

Please see attached VOR Market Survey, VOR Specification FAA-E-37012 with MVPs highlighted, and the MVP Requirements Matrix for additional information, including due dates for responses. The MVP Requirements Matrix is provided in Word Format for ease of response.
