About this opportunity

The Naval Air Systems Command has issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of supplies and services to support the U.S. Navy Tactical Combat Training System Increment II (TCTS II) and the equivalent United States Air Force P6 Combat Training System (P6CTS). The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in Orlando, Florida is leading this requirement to provide range-tethered and untethered air combat training capabilities with secure air-to-air and air-to-ground data link functionality. The TCTS II system encompasses multiple subsystems including the Airborne Subsystem, Ground Subsystem, Remote Range Unit Subsystem, and Portable Support Equipment Subsystem. This training system is designed to provide encryption capabilities, an enhanced threat environment, and platform interfaces for various Type Model Series aircraft. The system operates both on fixed ranges with live monitoring and in portable configurations while maintaining interoperability with existing range infrastructure and TCTS variants.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the upcoming procurement opportunity for combat training system support services and equipment. The tentative procurement timeline establishes key milestones with the Draft Request for Proposal scheduled for December 3, 2025, followed by the formal RFP release on January 2, 2026, and anticipated contract award on September 24, 2026. Contractors have until September 17, 2025, to respond to this Special Notice. The system requirements focus on providing autonomous, rangeless tactical training capabilities that enhance military readiness through advanced simulation and training technologies. No set-aside designation has been applied to this opportunity, making it open to all qualified contractors. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code 6910 for Training Aids, indicating the specialized nature of the required capabilities and equipment.
