Background

The Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) system is a sensor netting system that significantly improves battle-force Anti-Air Warfare capability by extracting and distributing sensor-derived information such that the superset of this data is available to all participating CEC units.

The CEC system is installed aboard United States (US) and allied ships (through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program) to include cruisers, frigates, destroyers, amphibious warfare ships, and aircraft carriers.

Requirements

The Contractor shall:

  • Provide for the production and repair of the CEC PAAA sub-systems without delays in fulfilling the Navy’s requirements.
  • Provide production and repair of the critical CEC PAAA sub-systems, obsolescence management, Other Transaction Authority (OTA) technology insertion, the procurement of the associated test equipment, and the related engineering support.
  • Provide a hybrid approach which will encompass both build-to-print and build-to-specification production efforts.
  • Provide for the continued production of the PAAA sub-system based on a proposed revised design to address these obsolescence issues and approved under a Government approved Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) process.
  • Include antenna manufacture and assembly for the United States Navy (USN) and FMS customers, testing, Installation and Checkout (INCO) kits, spares, provisioned item orders, and all ancillary engineering support.
