US Navy slips schedule to let Australia join BAMS programme
The United States Navy's air systems command (NAVAIR) is delaying the release of tenders for its broad area maritime surveillance (BAMS) unmanned air system requirement until mid-February to enable modification of bid documents to meet unique Australian requirements for the system.
Australia formally signed a project agreement to participate in the BAMS system development and demonstration phase on 13 January.
NAVAIR is advising contenders that the likely delay is intended to allow the request for proposal to be modified to meet “USN requirements as well as options to address unique Australian objectives”.
Those changes will include modifications to the BAMS performance based specification with an updated draft expected to be released late this month to allow for industry comment ahead of formal tender release.
