Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a sole source Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Delivery Order (DO) under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-20-G-0007 to Raytheon Missile Systems Company (RMS) to provide parts and labor to update and improve obsolescence and reliability of the AGM-88B/C High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) STS-36C Seeker Electrical Assembly Test Set (SEATS) Support Test Equipment (STE). The SEATS STS-36C is a depot-level (D-Level) facility test set used to perform testing on the HARM guidance sections for the United States Navy (USN), United States Air Force (USAF), and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The STS-36C performs the necessary testing to verify that the seeker meets the requirements set forth in prescribed test procedures. The STS-36C performs four groups of testing: alignment tests, room temperature tests, cold temperature tests and hot temperature tests. The STS-36C is facing critical obsolescence issues that threaten continued HARM sustainability. The obsolete components include the Radio Frequency (RF) drawers and computer controller.
