The NAVAIR Conventional Strike Weapons Program Office (PMA-201) is currently seeking sources for the assembly and manufacture of the FMU-139 C/B Electronic Bomb Fuze. The FMU-139C/B Electronic Bomb Fuze is an electromechanical fuze that provides safing; in-flight cockpit setting capability, with multiple arming and multiple function delay selections; and moderate penetration capability. The fuze contains an explosive train, which is mechanically and electrically out-of-line until specific weapon launch cycle events have occurred. Once a valid launch has occurred, the fuze will arm in the selected arm time. The fuze provides arm times selected either by the pulsed power/Fuze Function Control Set (FFCS), or when continuous power/turbine powered, by ground selection. The FMU-139C/B can also be used with a separate proximity sensor. The fuze can be initiated by either an external proximity sensor or impact. A closure ring secures the fuze in the fuze well of warheads. Prior to operational use it may be stored, transported worldwide, installed in a weapon, loaded on an aircraft, and flown during captive carriage without release. NOTE: A full and open competition will be awarded on BEST VALUE. The Government anticipates award in September 2004, with a base and two one-year options. The estimated contract value is $45M.
