The Research and Development Division has a requirement for an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and associated engineering logistics support to install on the X-62A Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft (VISTA) -- operated by the USAF TPS at Edwards AFB, CA. The X-62A VISTA is a critical part of the USAF TPS curriculum and USAF
research efforts. Specifically: Engineering logistics support includes working with the other VISTA support companies to assist in the engineering needed to install the AESA radar and the follow-on work (spares, data analysis, etc.) typically needed to support and troubleshoot the X-62A developmental radar throughout the next phase of the X-62A VISTA test program, termed the Mission System Upgrade and includes the addition of the AESA radar.
