## Description

**Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESA):** Pertaining to this notice THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY to support a potential in-flight demonstration of the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar to be conducted on Redstone Arsenal, AL. It is the intent of the government to investigate AESA Radar technologies capable of fulfilling the requirements of multiple rotary and fixed wing platforms.

Desired capabilities include Fire Control, Pilotage, Pilot aid in Degraded Visual Environments (DVE), Pole/Tower and Cable Detection, Airborne Hazards, Terrain Following (TF), Terrain Avoidance (TA), and Shoreline mapping using Augmented Reality (AR) techniques. If respondents can only provide a subset of capabilities, they are still encouraged to respond.

The U.S. Government, Project Manager for Apache Attack Helicopter within the Program Executive Office for Aviation is conducting market research to determine potential sources capable of meeting technical requirements for an AESA Radar for the Army’s Attack (AH-64 Apache), Utility (UH-60 Black Hawk), Cargo (CH-47 Chinook) helicopters, Fixed Wing and Future Long Range Assault Aircraft.

Interested respondents are encouraged to provide substantiated evidence of their relevant capabilities, successes, and readiness for in-flight demonstration. Section 1.0 – “Surrogate Platform Interface Requirements” gives an overview of integration requirements to mount and connect the demonstration article to a standard Apache weapons pylon.

Additional information can be obtained from the AH-64E V6 TM 1-1520-263-10 Operators Manual, AH-64E V6 System Subsystem Design Descriptions (SSDD), MIL-STD-8591, and MIL-STD-810. United States Government (USG) will assist in the publishing of the required Airworthiness Release (AWR) and submission of the DD-1494 for this demonstration event. ALL DETAILS ARE PROVIDED IN THE BELOW ATTACHMENTS, RFI for AESA Radar (Rev H) and ENCLOSURE (1).
