A -- Notice of Program Delay

In August 2007 the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) released a draft RFP with the intent to conduct a full and open competition for the development of a Common Avionics Display (CAD). The CAD design would be modular, scalable and with an open architecture to enable commonality of major sub-components. Recent changes to the target platform programs have resulted in an approximate one year delay in the development schedule for the CAD program. In order to most cost effectively address several avionic system upgrades by integrating them concurrently, the V-22 program has deferred installation of a CAD solution until Lot 17, fiscal year 2013. The H-1 program has withdrawn from the CAD program due to higher immediate priorities. Consequently, plans for release of a CAD RFP are hereby delayed indefinitely. Please direct any questions, comments or feedback regarding this Notice to either Ms. Michelle Tirrell, Contract Specialist at (301-757-5895), [email protected] or Ms. Maureen Bernard, PCO, at (301) 757-5899, email [email protected].
