The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) tactical mission networking requires equipment, software and the associated sustainment and support services to support the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Tactical Mission Network. The Government’s requirement is for a Light Weight Processor (LWP) for the Army Special Operations Aircraft (ARSOA). The LWP will enable airborne networking functionality on the A/MH-6M, MH-47G, and MH-60M aircraft without interfering with operational flight program (OFP) functions. A LWP will provide the processing power to host and operate all airborne mission networking inputs/outputs and software (e.g. INTR-Link and SRTV) as well as any other third party software application utilized by aircrew executing assigned/tasked missions. The A/MH-6M Mission Enhanced Little Bird (MELB), due to size and weight limits, is unable to use the traditional, militarized processor used in the MH-60M and MH-47G Mission Design Series (MDS) aircraft. The LWP Project seeks to competitively procure and test either commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) or non-developmental items (NDI) that can provide sufficient processing within size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints of the MELB.
