About this file
This is a Salient Characteristics document for a federal contract opportunity for the 48 Security Forces Squadron (SFS) at RAF Lakenheath. The document specifies requirements for an Overhead Gunner Protection Kit (OGPK) designed for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The kit must include a reinforced overhead structural cage and restraint system equipped with three 12-inch by 12-inch windows fitted with transparent ballistic glass. The structure must rigidly bolt directly to the JLTV's pre-existing structural frame to guarantee gunner safety in a rollover scenario and must include all required high-strength, vehicle-grade mounting hardware along with detailed, step-by-step installation instructions.
The central design principle requires the protection kit to be completely unobtrusive, ensuring no obstruction to the weapon system, the gunner's freedom of movement, or access to critical equipment. Delivery must be coordinated with the 48 SFS Point of Contact (POC) to the 48 SFS S4 Warehouse Building #1027, located at RAF Lakenheath, Brandon, Suffolk, IP27 9PN. The document is Revision 0001, dated 13 July 2026, and represents the initial salient characteristics specification for this procurement requirement.
