Summary

[Analyzed from API Fallback] The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC-PHD) is seeking proposals to design and produce a custom prototype chassis. This chassis must house a new, larger commercial network router, allowing it to be physically secured and integrated into the existing Tomahawk Equipment Cabinet (TEC) on naval ships. The solution must also facilitate connection to existing power supplies. This effort aims to upgrade network technology without a complete overhaul of the current equipment racks. Successful completion of the prototype may lead to a follow-on production contract for up to 60 units.
