the manufacture and delivery of a radar functional trainer for use by radar

trainer that emulates the main characteristics of the Israeli-built Elta
EL/M-2022A(V)3 radar, but operates using a generic human-machine interface(HMI);
and/or a radar trainer that emulates the main characteristics of the
EL/M-2022A(V)3 radar that is controlled by a replication of the P-3K2 Orion HMI.
Companies wishing to be associated in any manner with this program should
