WingWalker G USAF Collision Avoidance System Kit

Headquarters Air Mobility Command's (HQ AMC) Directorate of Logistics, Engineering and Force Protection's Maintenance Division (A4M) requires the purchase of the WingWalker G USAF Collision Avoidance System kits. These kits are minorly modified versions of the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) WingWalker G kits that aide in the prevention of accidents during aircraft tow operations by providing advanced warning to operators. The COTS WingWalker G kits include the following items: one Storage Case, two Radio Batons, two Red Batons, one Radio Strobe, one Alarm Box/Pager, one Charging Station, and one Power Adapter. However, AMC/A4M requires one additional Radio Baton and one additional Red Baton to be included in each COTS kit. Having a total of three Radio Batons and three Red Batons in each kit is required since Air Force Instruction (AFI) 21-101 specifies that three personnel (two wing walkers and one tail walker) must be present during aircraft tow operations. As such, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the COTS WingWalker G kits, Railhead Corporation (Railhead), created the WingWalker G USAF kits (which includes the additional items) and selected one of their resellers, Graybar Electric Corporation Inc. (Graybar), to be the sole distributer. Therefore, Graybar (Cage Code 0GUD0) is the sole supplier for the WingWalker G USAF kit..
