SYNOPSIS

The U.S. Navy must maintain and modernize to meet current and future operational requirements. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to issue the competitive solicitation N00024-25-R-5504 for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity- Multiple Award Contract (IDIQ-MAC) for the procurement of Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) AN/SLQ-32(V) Full Rate Production, Design Agent Engineering, and Integration requirements.

The Government intends to utilize the IDIQ-MAC to support current and future SEWIP AN/SLQ-32(V) systems and subsystems, including products and/or services to design, develop, fabricate, prototype, integrate, test, maintain, and support the multiple variants of AN/SLQ-32(V).

The anticipated period of performance of the base period shall be approximately five (5) years from date of contract award (with the potential of a five (5) year ordering period option).

The AN/SLQ-32 Electronic Warfare (EW) system performs the mission of early detection, signal analysis, threat warning and protection from anti-ship missiles. SEWIP is the evolutionary acquisition and incremental development program to upgrade the AN/SLQ-32 EW system in blocks. The SEWIP Block 1B3 provides the High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS) adjunct sensor. The SEWIP Block 2 provides Electronic Support (ES) capability improvements by providing an upgraded receiver and antenna group, as well as improved Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) mitigation and combat system interface. The SEWIP Block 3 provides Electronic Attack (EA) capabilities.

AN/SLQ-32(V)6, the latest fielded variant of the AN/SLQ-32, incorporates the High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS) adjunct sensor developed under the SEWIP Block 1B3 and the receiver, antenna, and combat system interface upgrades developed under the SEWIP Block 2 ACAT II program. AN/SLQ-32(V)6 also includes the following ancillary equipment: the Specific Emitter

Identification (SEI) adjunct sensor, the AN/SLA-10D blanker, and the Liquid Conditioning Unit (LCU).

AN/SLQ-32C(V)6, also known as SEWIP Lite, is a scaled variant of the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 that provides early detection, signal analysis, threat warning and protection from anti-ship missiles for smaller ship classes.

AN/SLQ-32(V)7, the next variant of the AN/SLQ-32, and SOEA, a future variant, integrates Electronic Attack (EA) capabilities under the SEWIP Block 3 ACAT II program with the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 and Soft-Kill Coordination System (SKCS) on existing and select new construction ships.
