JA Amendment REDACTED_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) Amendment for a Department of the Navy procurement opportunity for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division. The contract is for a two-phase procurement strategy focused on revising the APX-119 Digital Control Panel (DCP) software for the F-5N/F aircraft. The primary objective is to improve the control panel interface software, specifically reducing "heads-down" time during flight by developing embedded software for multi-transponder settings.

The contract is anticipated to have a total duration of twelve (12) months, with funding allocated from FY25 O&MN (Operations and Maintenance, Navy). The software revision is designed for United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) F-5N/F aircraft, targeting aircraft used by single pilots requiring frequent manipulation of transponder settings. The amendment updates paragraph 3 of the original J&A document approved on 5 June 2025, with the specific goal of design, qualification, and delivery of the software revision to enhance operational efficiency.
