P U R C H A S E O F T H E WMSL

FIBER OPTIC INERTIA

NAVIGATION SYSTEM

(INS) (rev. 07/15/2025)

1.0 SCOPE:

1.1. This specification describes the requirements for purchasing, shipping, preservation, packaging, packing, and marking of the following Inertial Navigation System:

1.2. Requirements: The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking information on primary and secondary gyro systems due to frequent equipment failures and obsolescence. Both existing gyro systems are no longer supportable on its National

Security Cutters (NSC), also known as Maritime Security Cutter, Large (WMSL). The existing gyro systems on USCG National Security Cutters are MK-39 Mod 3A Inertial

Navigation System (INS) (primary) and MK-27-F gyrocompass (secondary). These systems currently provide critical position, heading, and vector data to command-and-control systems, navigational systems and tactical weapons systems. The USCG is seeking replacement gyro systems due to the obsolescence of both systems as existing systems are no longer supportable. Potential replacement gyro systems must be equivalent or superior functionality to the current systems, interoperability with existing on-board systems and offer long-term supportability and maintainability.
