Improved Target Acquisition Systems

The Improved Target Acquisition Systems (ITAS) is a Department of Defense Acquisition Category III program operating under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program, identified by DoD Acquisition Program Number A53, represents an acquisition plan focused on target acquisition systems enhancement. While the program's full scope is not detailed in the provided materials, it appears to encompass both weapons systems and associated information technology components.

The recent contract awards associated with this program predominantly involve repair services for the M61A1 20mm Hydraulic Drive system supporting F-16 aircraft Gatling guns, with contract values ranging from $282,040 to $289,460. The Air Force Sustainment Center is the primary contracting authority, consistently utilizing firm-fixed-price delivery orders with performance periods typically spanning 12-15 months. Elbitamerica Inc., a subsidiary of Elbit Systems LTD Aerospace Division, emerges as a key contractor for the weapons system maintenance components. One notable deviation from the weapons system contracts is a $133,730 delivery order through the Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement V (SEWP V) vehicle to Abba Technologies for VMWARE software, which was designated as a small business set-aside. While most contracts had no set-aside designations, work is performed at various locations including Talladega, Alabama and Fort Meade, Maryland.
