Requirements Description: The DNS is a critical sensor used to provide highly accurate, three-dimensional velocity and navigation data on the AH-64D/E Longbow Apache helicopters. The DNS is integrated into the Apache Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) to provide independent, jam-resistant navigation and enables these systems to operate effectively and dependably, day or night, and during adverse weather conditions and when GPS is not available. It provides accurate 3-D velocity data for fire-control, INS aiding, weapons delivery, and hovering operations. The use of helicopters without a fully functional DNS would present safety risks to the pilot, the supported Warfighter, and would prevent completion of missions. Repair support is a critical and essential element for supporting the helicopter fleet and to ensure these items are maintained in an operational condition. The acquisition of hardware spares is also crucial in the sustainment of fleet operation. The Government does not possess the technical data package (TDP) for the parts. The TDP is not available for release. Procurement History: W56JSR-22-D-0010, BAE Systems, POP Sep 2022 Sep 2027.
