This Sources Sought notice is for informational purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is seeking information on industry capabilities to design, develop, test, and manufacture a system to augment the current P-8A Multi-Functional Data Acquisition Unit (MFDAU). The goal is to provide an alternate route for storing P-8A flight data for ground station use, as PCMCIA cards are becoming obsolete.

The government is also interested in Microsoft Windows applications for small data sets and cloud implementations for enterprise-level datasets.
