The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex awarded a firm fixed price delivery order contract valued at $883,794 to Data Link Solutions LLC for CRYPTO MODERNIZATION (CM) LINK 16 TACNET TACTICAL RADIOS (TTR) ON MC-130H, MC-130J, AND CV-22 AIRCRAFT. As a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Data Link Solutions LLC will provide Link 16 tactical radios for installation and integration on specified aircraft in Cedar Rapids, Iowa over a two year period ending August 2023. This supports the Air Force's secure tactical data networking requirements through upgrades to key aircraft mission systems. The original February 2020 pre-solicitation notice indicated this would be a sole source acquisition from Data Link Solutions LLC, as the original equipment manufacturer, for a CM upgrade to the Link 16 TTR. The market survey aimed to identify potential sources capable of meeting qualification requirements for the non-commercial item upgrade, for which the government does not own data rights. No set-aside was specified. The contracted upgrade aims to modernize cryptographic capabilities for the tactical data radios installed on specified MC-130, CV-22, and MC-130J aircraft as they conduct critical Air Force missions.
