The government plans for the APAS to enter production in 2027. The system must meet extensive functional requirements, including a communication range of at least 5 statute miles, low latency, and the ability to alert at least 128 devices simultaneously. Key technical requirements include nuclear survivability, cybersecurity hardness, and a minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of 6. No budget amount or specific location for performance of services is mentioned in this Request for Information (RFI).
