Quick Summary
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), on behalf of the V-22 Joint Program Office, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice for the CV-22 Joint Tactical Terminal - Next Generation (JTT-NG) system. This effort seeks industry partners capable of designing, fabricating, and delivering prototype and Validation/Verification (Val/Ver) A-kits, and integrating them with Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) B-kits for installation and testing on the CV-22 Osprey aircraft. The goal is to enhance mission capabilities by providing access to broader tactical intelligence. Responses are due by April 7, 2026, 4:00 P.M. EDT.
Scope of Work
The JTT-NG is a multi-service, multi-platform Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) terminal, replacing an obsolete legacy system. Contractors will perform non-recurring engineering (NRE) to:
- Design, fabricate, and deliver prototype A-kits for flight test and Val/Ver.
- Integrate contractor-designed A-kits with Government-provided B-kits (Base Transceiver Unit, Exciter Power Amplifier, BXU Mounting Tray).
- Develop and deliver Interface Control Documents, software/hardware design documents, and an Installation Drawing Package.
- Conduct Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, FCA).
- Deliver a draft Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) and inputs for Time Compliance Technical Order.
- Provide a complete Technical Data Package for Interim Flight Clearance and future procurement, plus training and support/sustainment data packages.
- Manage CLASSIFIED/SECRET/COMSEC CONTROL ITEMs, requiring a DD254.
- Support on-aircraft government testing.
