Summary
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a sole source Delivery Order under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001926G1008 with General Atomics (GA) to incorporate the MQ-25 into the baseline software for the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) in support of Ford-Class Aircraft Carriers. The scope covers modeling and simulation, control system settings development, software development and release, correction of deficiencies, test support, data analysis, meetings, schedules, and logistics updates. The acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 because General Atomics is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the EMALS and AAG systems.
