Background The JTT-NG is a multi-service, multi-platform Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) terminal. Attachment (1) JTT-NG Interface Control Document (ICD), provides further details on the system

requirements. The

objective of this effort is the design, fabrication, and delivery of the necessary A-kits, and the subsequent integration of the complete JTT-NG system (A-kit and GFE B-kit) onto the CV-22 aircraft. This will enhance mission capabilities by providing access to a broader range of tactical intelligence and Indication and Warning data. This integration is necessitated by the impending obsolescence of the legacy Integrated Broadcast System currently installed on the aircraft. The JTT-NG system has been identified as the successor system to meet both current and future operational mandates that the legacy IBR system cannot satisfy. The primary

deliverables for this effort will be prototype A-kits for flight test and Validation/Verification. The Contractor shall integrate a Government-provided B-kit system with the contractor-designed and fabricated A-kits. The integration of the system entails providing intelligence information to the aircrew on a “glass” cockpit. To produce these kits and their required supporting data, the Contractor shall perform all associated NRE. As part of this NRE, the Contractor shall develop and deliver the final Interface Control Documents, software documents, hardware design documents, and an Installation Drawing Package. The Contractor shall conduct all Systems Engineering Technical Reviews, consisting of Systems
