Request for Information - Denied Navigation System for Special Warfare

Background
The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), specifically the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Special Warfare (SW) Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN), is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a reliable navigation system designed for operations in environments where Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities are degraded or denied.
The goal of this initiative is to enhance operational effectiveness in challenging conditions.

Work Details
The required capability is a compact electronic navigation system that integrates various supplemental sensors, including magnetic, inertial, gravity, visual, celestial, radar/lidar, ground signals of opportunity, terrain data, local timing mechanisms, and quantum/atomic clock synchronization.
The system must be versatile enough for use across multiple platforms such as aircraft, land vehicles, maritime platforms, and man-portable applications.
Key performance parameters include:
1. Positional accuracy of 10 meters Circular Error Probable (CEP) in GPS-denied environments.
2. Resistance to jamming with specified anti-jamming performance metrics.
3. Quick time to first fix within 5 minutes in GPS-denied environments.
4. Operational endurance of at least 24 hours on a single battery charge with swappable battery capability.
5. Compatibility with the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) for real-time situational awareness.
6. Durability with water resistance ratings up to IPX-7.
7. Compliance with Military-Code (M-Code) mandates and ease of use requiring minimal training.
