The Naval Air Systems Command is in the process of preparing a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) intended for release on or around 3 December 2007 for a Common Mobile Aircrew Restraint System (CMARS) and this draft RFP will be open to the industry for comment until 17 December 2007. A final RFP is anticipated for release on 11 February 2008 with proposals due into NAVAIR by 28 March 2008. To recapture some of the information provided in the previous RFI issued in March 2007 for the CMARS, the Navy is looking for either developmental or commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) technologies that can provide improvements to Mobile Aircrew Restraint Systems for Crash & Fall protection. Candidate platforms include both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft that include mobile crewmembers. Systems are desired that have application to large cabin aircraft to provide continuous restraint while preventing mobile occupants from being ejected during a crash or from falling through large openings, doors, ramps, etc. While COTS equipment is of particular interest, all candidate technologies that may meet Mobile Aircrew Restraint requirements are sought. This is not a request for information or a request for proposal, rather a synopsis to aid in the preparation of submissions for the anticipated draft and final RFPs. All inquires must be sent to David Borne, Code AIR-2.4.2.2.3, Naval Air Systems Command, Building 2272, Room 353, 47123 Buse Road, Patuxent river, MD 20671-1547.
