Description
The Navy desires the development and integration of a unified MK 341 Interface Test Set (ITS) prototype capable of testing all current and emerging VLS missile variants. This prototype will consolidate the legacy MK 683 and predecessor MK 341 functionalities into a single advanced platform by FY2029. Accelerating the integration of emerging U.S. and FMS missile capabilities, while systematically mitigating obsolescence within the existing MK 341 ITS platform, requires leveraging existing MK41 VLS infrastructure and equipment.
To support these compressed timelines, the project prioritizes rapid developmental cycles, direct access to secure government networks, and agile testing methodologies which are most e¯ectively delivered through an embedded, collaborative engineering model. The contractor shall conduct all prototype design, development, and integration activities comprehensively on-site at the NSWC Port Hueneme Division (PHD) facility.
Furthermore, upon successful completion of the prototype, the contractor will directly execute the fielding of the modernized system to the Fleet. The Government will provide one (1) legacy MK 341 ITS unit to serve as the baseline. The contractor shall utilize this unit to analyze the current system design, identify obsolescence, and develop the integration architecture for the new U.S. and FMS missile variants.
