These parts shall be installed on new or re-manufactured Apache Aircraft or new or re-manufactured Gen II and Gen III TADS/PNVS systems. This hardware must interface with existing unmodified equipment as well as provide commands for control of existing sub-systems. Interfaces with other equipment is critical to maintain proper operation of the Apache, particularly because the TADS/PNVS operates on a flight-stabilized servo gimbal. Extremely small tolerances in mass, balance, electromagnetic interference, optical properties, and many manufacturing techniques must be carefully controlled within the system to ensure performance. The first shipments, including any required qualification, first article testing and production readiness review, must support deliveries no more than twenty-four months after contract award at the sustained rate of up to fifteen per month. The Government does not own the complete TADS/PNVS Technical Data Packages (TDPs).
