Requirement Description:

The purpose of this procurement is to acquire an Automated Launch of Expendables (ALEX) Processor unit to facilitate the launch of chaff to deter threats. This processor unit is a full "turn key" solution. The Freedom Variant Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) use a hardware and software profile for the ALEX system used for the Integrated Tactical Trainer (ITT-1C) located at the LCS Littoral Training Facility (LTF) to prepare sailors for fleet service in Mayport, FL. The required materials (descriptions, specifications, part number, and quantities) are identified in CLIN 0001 below. Configuration control is of significant importance, as the current environment and support structures (e.g., classroom dimensions, connectivity, environmental controls, utility capacity, etc.) cannot be altered without significant additional expense (cost and schedule) or negatively impacting training capacity.
