The U.S. Air Force is seeking market research for a significant upgrade to the MH-139A helicopter's Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) system, including enhanced imaging, targeting, and cabin displays for Special Mission Aviators. The upgrade must integrate with existing structural mounts and the aircraft's navigation system, with a focus on airworthiness and laser safety certification. Responses are due by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on 24 July 2026, and must include a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate for non-recurring engineering and per-aircraft modification kits. No specific budget amount is provided in the description. The location for performance of services is not specified.

The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify sources for a significant upgrade to the MH-139A Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) system, including adding cabin displays for Special Mission Aviators. The upgrade must provide enhanced imaging, targeting capabilities, and avionics integration, with a depot-level upgrade to the existing FLIR Star SAFIRE 380HDc as a baseline. No specific budget amount is mentioned. The location for performance of services is not specified. Responses are due by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on 24 July 2026.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research only, not a solicitation, issued by the U.S. Air Force to identify sources capable of upgrading the MH-139A helicopter's Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) system and adding cabin displays for Special Mission Aviators. The upgrade requires enhanced imaging (including MWIR, SWIR, and color low-light cameras), a laser rangefinder and illuminator, moving target indicator, and integration with the aircraft's navigation system and cabin displays. No budget amount is specified. The location for performance is not specified. Responses are due by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on 24 July 2026.
