Complementaru Flush Air Data System for Subsonic and Transonic Bomber Operations and Weapon Platforms

The government authority located in Washington, DC, is seeking a complementary flush air data system for subsonic and transonic bomber operations and weapon platforms. The agency is trying to solve the vulnerability of existing air data systems in contested environments by acquiring a redundant, jam-resistant, and stealth-compatible air data sensing solution. This system will enhance flight safety, data integrity, and mission resilience while informing future modernization pathways toward a primary flush air data architecture. The scope of work requires the development of a system that performs data fusion between the Flush Air Data System and the aircraft's existing air data computers to ensure cross-verified, all-weather flight parameters. The requested system must maintain accurate and resilient air data measurement throughout dynamic flight conditions, specifically addressing challenges such as icing, electromagnetic interference, and sensor degradation. The project also covers conducting comprehensive ground tests followed by flight validation to demonstrate system reliability, accuracy, and seamless integration with existing aircraft systems. Eligibility rules restrict this opportunity to onshore organizations based in the United States only. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. For the budget, the agency is looking for proposals to define the financial parameters, and no specific key dates or further evaluation criteria are provided in the sourcing details.
