June 10, 2025 Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Title: UH-1N HTAWS Enablement Card Procurement
This requirement is for the procurement of The Helicopter Terrain Awareness Warning System (HTAWS) Enablement Card, P/N:010-00882-01. The HTAWS Enablement Card is used on the UH-1N Helicopter GNS-530 Navigation Computer System (NSN 5826-01-667-5541, P/N 011-01066-00). The GNS-530 Navigation Computer System is located in the center of the instrument panel on the Air Force UH-1N aircraft and receives GPS, navigation, communication, weather, and traffic alerts from various systems and antennas located on the aircraft. The HTAWS card is used to help assist the pilot in confirming clearance maintenance from terrain and obstacles and it ensures all aural and visual alerts are heard and seen on the computer screen.
These cards are essential to restore the functionality of GNS-530 Navigation Computers, currently non-operational, due to the absence of this component when initially acquired. Restoring the computers to operational status is critical to the UH-1N mission. This procurement will meet the current demand and requirements, and it will ultimately increase the operational readiness of the combat search and rescue (CSAR) organizations and the missions they execute globally.
This contract is for the acquisition of the following:
