Naval Air Systems Command (NA-VAIR) released the final request for proposals (RFP) January 13 for the development of the Joint and Allied Threat Awareness System (JATAS), a new missile warning system for Marine Corps and Navy rotary-wing aircraft. Industry bids are due March 12. NAVAIR anticipates awarding a 16-month Technology Development contract to each of two companies August 31 for JATAS requirements analysis, preliminary design and delivery of three prototypes for testing slated to occur 11 months after the contract award. NAVAIR subsequently plans to select a single company for an Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase in FY2011. The lead platform for JATAS is the Marine Corps' MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft.
