RFI FOR IMPROVED LIFE PRESERVER UNIT (LPU) FOR NAVY ROTARY WING AND TILT ROTOR AIRCREW
Summary
To promote early exchanges of information with Industry in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.2, Naval Air Systems Command, Aircrew Systems Program Office (NAVAIR PMA202) of Patuxent River, Maryland is issuing this Request for Information (RFI).

Please also note that the Reliability requirements documented in section 3.8 of the Enclosure 1 Draft LPU Performance Specification (dated 3/19/25) are notional at this time. The Government invites respondents to propose recommendations on reliability metrics to meet the intent of this ... - Documents:
