Input: RFP For Navy UAS Is Expected In Autumn
Published: Mon Apr 24th, 2006Source: www.aviationweek.com
Input, a federal information technology consulting agency, expects a draft or even formal request for proposals for the U.S. Navy's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) unmanned aerial system in October or November, said Brian Haney, director of member services. Haney, at an Input conference April 20 featuring the Navy's chief information officer (CIO), said the total program could be worth $2 billion. The Naval Air Systems Command should conduct a full and open competition for the BAMS UAS, he said.
The fiscal 2007 Navy budget request provides $26.4 million for the development of the Navy's previously delayed BAMS UAS acquisition effort, whose initial operating capability still is expected in FY '13 (DAILY, March 11).
The Navy last summer said it wanted a Milestone B decision for BAMS in the fourth quarter of FY '07, with system development and demonstration (SDD) starting in FY '08 (DAILY, June 25, 2005). Previously, BAMS was to enter SDD around the second quarter of FY '05.
