## Description

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), in support of the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems (PAE MS) AIWA program, is issuing this RFI to conduct market research.

The Government is seeking to assess industrys current and projected capabilities to support Full Rate Production (FRP) of the newly designed Very/Ultra High Frequency Transmit Array (V/UHF Tx Array) antenna, High Frequency Direction Finding (HFDF) antenna, New Graywing Antenna Development (NewGRAD) acquisition antenna, and Next Generation AS-4683 Antenna. The primary objective of this RFI is to identify qualified manufacturing sources for a build-to-print production effort. For the purposes of this RFI, industry shall assume the Government will provide a complete Level 3 Product level Technical Data Package (TDP).

**NOTE:** The design and development of the TDP is currently in process. Responses should focus on manufacturing capabilities, quality control, and production capacity rather than engineering design expertise.Respondents are encouraged to provide recommendations related to the delivery of a partial or full solution, covering any or all of the antenna systems described herein for which they have expertise. You are not required to respond to all four antenna systems to submit a compliant RFI response.
