Description

The National Research Council’s (NRC) Flight Research Laboratory (FRL) has a requirement to procure a “Mission-Tailorable” Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor pod to support DND-funded research. An AS-3 pod is required to form the basis of this capability as these pods are employed by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on their aircraft. This commonality provides operational flexibility to leverage existing airworthiness approvals and flight clearances for use on RCAF aircraft, in addition the NRC aircraft. The work will involve a 5 year Standing Offer being created for the order of raw materials, design, engineering and manufacturing of a baseline AS-3 pod, assistance with clearing the pod for operations on NRC aircraft, and integration of initial sensors. Work may encompass engineering, technical support and manufacture/ modification of the pod structure, brackets, wiring, and/or fairings/radomes necessary to support future sensors that DND and/or NRC may wish to integrate. Additional parts/services not listed may be required to support operation and employment of the AS-3 pod at NRC.
