DIRECT TO PHASE II: Non-tactical Replacement of AN/UYK-43 in a Laboratory Environment
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Navy is seeking a Direct to Phase II SBIR solution to replace the obsolete AN/UYK-43 computer for land-based testing of Aegis computer programs. The work calls for a non-tactical emulator that is binary compatible, supports compatible input/output, and can execute 32-bit CMS-2Y tactical code on COTS hardware and a common operating system. The prototype must match UYK-43 performance closely enough for precise timing, memory, storage, and I/O behavior, and it will be validated in a Navy land-based test facility using operational data and a Government-approved modeling and simulation environment. This opportunity is open, with applications due June 24, 2026 at 4:00 PM UTC, and offerors must provide Phase I feasibility documentation showing prior emulator development work.
