The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue an order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-07-G-0008 with the Bell-Boeing Joint Program Office on an other than full and open competitive basis to develop, integrate, test, and qualify the AN/APX-119 with a KIV-77 appliqué on the CV-22 aircraft. Efforts include Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) for Production Incorporation and Retrofit NRE via an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) for the integration and test into the air vehicle, and airworthiness substantiation of the AN/APX-119 with a KIV-77 appliqué which adds Mode 5 capability for the CV-22 Osprey. Production implementation for CV aircraft will be Lot 16 and subsequent. All CV-22 Ospreys subject to operational deployment will need to be fitted with the AN/APX-119 IFF system with a KIV-77 appliqué. The US government is currently engaged in upgrading its aviation fleet to the next generation of IFF which incorporates a Mode 5 capability. Bell-Boeing is the only known source that possesses the requisite knowledge and expertise required to perform this effort.
