Description

The U.S. Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) enterprise is seeking a prototype solution to address exhaust leakage from the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Exhaust Box on the E-6B aircraft platform. The current Exhaust Box fails to adequately dissipate hot exhaust gases, causing structural damage and costly maintenance. The project aims to prevent aircraft structural damage by redesigning the Exhaust Box System. The solicitation includes a timeline for white paper submission, proposal release, and award.
