The PATRIOT Software Test Facility (PSTF) requires the new monitors and associated hardware for fielding to a PATRIOT system for US and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) partner. Our project needs to procure this specific equipment in order to initially evaluate the viability of the hardware components before they are used in a tactical environment. This tactical version of the PATRIOT Hardware is a direct requirement of the system for the US and PATRIOT FMS partner. We must have this exact Tactical version of the PATRIOT Hardware in order to meet the requirement of the PATRIOT system for the new expected to be fielded systems. Esterline Federal, LLC is the sole provider of the required hardware.
