The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD (V2231) intends to negotiate and award a sole source modification to The Boeing Company (TBC) under Delivery Order (DO) N0001925F0085 under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001921G0006. ADVEW will combine two systems of the existing Electronic Warfare (EW) suite, ALR-67 Radar Warning Receiver and the ALQ-214 Self-Protect Jammer, into a single system providing automated EW processing in an Open System Architecture. The suite will enable both offensive and defensive capabilities for the F/A-18 E/F and support multiple sensor enhancements to include the AN/APG-79 radar Wideband Receiver (WBR) upgrades providing instantaneous bandwidth and integration of EW signals into ADVEW.

This modification will definitize the previously awarded Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) and is anticipated to include final design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of the A-Kit design for a production Block III F/A-18E and a production Block III F/A-18F configured with and without the Wide Band Radar System (WRBS) in FY26.
