The Danish Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) wishes to procure 29 ea. Variable Message Format Data Modems including Special Tools, Test Equipment, Test Software, and Training with an option to procure additional 8 ea. Variable Message Format Data Modems and options for additional Support and Integration for the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) F-16 fighter aircraft in S1.1 avionics configuration.
The RDAF F-16 in S1.1 Operational Flight Program (OFP) configuration is capable of receiving messages in the Air Force Applications Program Development (AFAPD) format. The VMF-IDM shall translate between VMF messages (radio side) and AFAPD messages (aircraft side). The integration of the VMF IDM should to the extent possible utilize the existing AFAPD MMC interface to handle VMF CAS messages. In the cases where a direct translation is not possible the Supplier shall propose an alternative method for the implementation of the VMF message. The existing legacy Air-to-Ground (A/G) AFAPD communication protocols shall be retained. The Tactical Fire Direction System (TACFIRE) communications protocols should be retained. The VMF-IDM shall not negatively influence other existing subsystems. The VMF IDM shall - if requested by DALO - be tested with the F-16 OFP in the Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) at Hill Air Force Base. DALO may request the F-16 System Program Office (SPO) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base to issue a Flight Clearance before delivery.
The tenderer should as part of the offer perform a Ground Demonstration in Denmark.
