About this file
This document is a Sources Sought Synopsis for the Modernization of the T-7 Family of Systems, a pre-solicitation for potential contract opportunities related to upgrading the T-7 aircraft, Ground Based Training System, and associated systems. The government is seeking sources capable of performing a range of potential modifications, including implementing high mach and terrain avoidance capabilities, integrating net arrestor system compatibility, increasing aircraft endurance, upgrading the pilot-vehicle interface, and implementing a G-limit mode. Requirements may involve design, certification, integration, kit production, installation, and sustainment support. The government is interested in both large and small businesses, and is specifically looking for small business participation that can perform at least 50% of the work. Responses are due by May 6, 2024, and the acquisition strategy has not yet been determined. Security clearances up to the Secret level may be required.

Addendum for PVI
The following list is a draft for informational purposes only, meant to inform potential offerers of PVI efforts the government may implement in the near future.
1. Divert Mode:
a. This will allow rapid selection of and navigation to several of the closest suitable airfields, similar to capabilities currently available in the T-38. These would include climb/cruise/descent cues (airspeed and altitude), as well as navigation.
2. Situational Awareness (SIT) Line Color/Style:
a. Display of line colors/styles/polygons/circles equivalent to T-38.
3. SIT Display improvements
a. Make compass rose more legible, make the GPS ground track diamond usable, enable the ability for Bullseye (BE) to show up under the cursors vs. only lat/long.
b. Allow selection of navaids/steer points via Large Area Display (LAD) touch.
4. Navigation improvements:
a. Ability to manage navigation displays similar to current T-38 capabilities, including heading bug and course arrow auto slew.
b. BE selection on Up Front Control Display (UFCD) similar to T-38.
c. Automatic International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Identifier and Tune Identify and Monitor (TIM) confirmation.
d. 5-Digit Radio Frequency Resolution: Automatic resolution of 5-digit radio frequency input ending in 2 or 7 (e.g. 377.77 entered automatically resolves to 377.775).
5. Flameout Landing Guidance:
a. Provide landing guidance to selected airfield, including airspeed, descent angle, energy cues (clean, configured, configured with speed brake) to achieve a landable solution.
6. Tactical Situation Display (TSD) Sensor cueing:
a. Allows sensor cueing (A/A & A/G RADAR, Tgt Pod, etc.) from TSD display.
7. Markpoints
a. Ability to set a markpoint with elevation for both real-world and training purposes.
b. Ability to designate markpoint with any/all sensors and use it immediately.
8. Add Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) coordinate system as a selectable option.
9. Hands on Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) Remap
a. Re-map all stick and throttle buttons to match existing commands.
10. Traffic Avoidance and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Resolution Advisory (Heads Up Display) HUD Display
a. Modify existing display to provide more intuitive information regarding required traffic avoidance maneuvering commands.
