Board of War - ENCRYPTED REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) to Imperial Eagle

The Board of War of the Qing Dynasty would wish to inquire into the following:

  • The price for acquiring 40 F/A-18D Hornet carrier-capable aircraft,

  • The willingness, and price (if applicable) for acquiring a developmental and production license for the F/A-18E/FSuper Hornet,

  • and Future contracts to Lockheed Martin for the development of a naval combat system, similar to the USN's AEGIS system.

      The new system, dubbed the Joint Service Integrated Combat System (or JSICS), is an advanced command and control-cum-naval combat system, which will utilize robust computer and radar technology to track, guide, and use weapons in a naval combat theatre. The Board of War has set out the following specifications:
    • A fast-reaction component, with integration with HHQ-10 Air Defence SAMs, Type 730 CIWS, and Type 1130 CIWS

    • A mirror of the Aegis Weapons System (AWS), featuring integration and compatibility with the Type 346 naval radar, as well as Qing naval craft with the GJB 5860-2006 certification.

    • A radio frequency (RF) uplink for mid-course update missile guidance during combat to ensure that a large number of targets can be engaged simultaneously.

    • Integration of a mirror of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMD) for air defence purposes.

    • Access to the Aegis Open Architecture Modernization Program
