Description

The Naval Air Systems (NAVAIR) Command, Precision Strike Weapons Program Office (PMA-201), intends to conduct a full and open competition for an electronic, General Purpose Bomb (GPB) Fuze Munition Unit (FMU-179/B). The Fuze Munition Unit (FMU) - Bomb Fuze is the primary fuze that has been deployed by United States (US) Forces and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allies for the last thirty seven (37) years in air-dropped conventional General Purpose (GP) warhead-based weapons systems including the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) and is the primary Fuze used in all Mark (MK)-80/Bomb Logistics Unit (BLU) series GP bombs. The FMU-179/B will have cockpit control of fuze arm times and functional delay times via the Serial Data Interface (SDI) between the Fuze and SDI capable weapon systems. The FMU-179/B will have faceplate switches for weapons with no SDI capability. Additionally the FMU-179/B will have increased hardened target penetration capability and will incorporate forward and aft power connection. Additionally, the FMU-179/B will incorporate forward and aft power connections. The FMU-179/B is currently required to replenish NATO and United States Government (USG) bomb fuze inventories.

Tasking for this effort will include design and development of the FMU-179/B Fuzing System (including associated sub-system and/or system analysis and testing), Systems Engineering (including open architecture, digital engineering, requirements verification, system safety, and design reviews), Program Management, System Security (including maintaining required security infrastructure), Product Support, and Qualification Testing and Evaluation through Operational Test (OT). EMD also includes activities associated with transitioning the FMU-179/B system to production and delivery of test assets in support of Equipment Operational Capability (EOC) and Initial Operation Capability (IOC).
