Description
The Naval Air Systems Command, PMA-209 Air Combat Electronics, is conducting a market survey requesting industry information to address replacement of the current APN-194 RADAR Altimeter installed on U. S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) for planning purposes only and should not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government is sponsoring this study to assess common altimeter alternatives that would enhance the current selection of radar altimeters. This RFI is focused on concepts consistent with an operational solution in the 2026 to 2028 timeframe.
The altimeter must be capable of operating with existing height indicators, aircraft wiring, connectors, electrical connections and antennas across multiple type model series U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. Outputs must include analog, digital and MIL-STD-1553 as well as unit continuous built-in-test (B BIT) status for input to Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). It shall also have a built-in-test (BIT) capability which detects at least 95% of all altimeter failures and provides an output health status advisory output indicator for display reliability status signal for display to the operator. The system shall provide an automatic zero-calibration capability and demonstrate compatibility with leakage signal in excess of -85dB.
The new altimeter should be form and fit with existing APN-194 aircraft installations, requiring little to no aircraft modification. It should interface with the aircraft utilizing existing wiring, connectors, electrical power and mounting. It shall also function with existing aircraft antennas, controls and altitude indicators as well as supporting analog, digital and MIL-STD-1553 outputs. If modification is required, the information submitted on future and currently available systems must describe what modification or integration efforts that may be anticipated for installat...
