Description

Introduction: The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) Air Delivered Directorate (ND), Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, is currently in the planning stages for a future acquisition in support of the B61 Tailkit Assembly (TKA) Program. The Air Force seeks to maximize the long-term reliability, availability, sustainability, and efficiency of the on-board telemetry unit (Telemetry Instrumentation Kit - TIK) used during flight testing of the B61 TKA. The Air Force intends to optimize the TKA TIK design for modularity, resilience, and long-term reproducibility, as well as mitigate obsolescence and acquire the technical baseline/data.

The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to engage industry, with expertise in this field, to better understand marketplace capability and options.
