- Description
- This is a modification to the above numbered REQUEST FOR INFORMATION to add the response due date and to change the point of contact. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE. NAVAIR Lakehurst is seeking potential sources, industry comments and product information for the potential acquisition of a New Organizational level portable Radio Frequency Transmission Line Test Set capable of automatically testing RF transmission lines and RF components of various aircraft installed antennas, coaxial cable, and RF wave-guide paths. The Test set should also be capable of testing the Radar Warning Receiver systems of the below listed aircraft. This test set will replace the AN/USM-482A (NIIN: 01-390-9170) and the AN/USM-482 (NIIN: 01-211-2836) and the AN/USM-638 (NIIN: 01-399-1757). The test set will be used to support the AH-1, CH-53, C-130J, EA-6B, E-2C, EP-3E, HH-60, MV-22B, P-3BC, SH-60, S-3B, UH-1 and unmanned aircraft. Desired Minimum Specifications: Insertion Loss: Measurements Frequency Range - 10 MHz to 18 GHz, Measurement Range - 0 dB to -70 dB (50 Ohm), Measurement Accuracy - +/-1.0 dB or +/- (0.5 + 0.02(F+A)) whichever is greater, where F = Frequency in GHz and A = Attenuation in dB, Measurement Resolution - +/-0.1 dB Return Loss: Measurement Frequency Range - 10 MHz to 18 GHz, Measurement Range - 1.6 dB to 40 dB (50ohm impedance), Measurement Accuracy - 1.6 dB to 10 dB, +/-1.5 dB, 10 dB to 15 dB, +/-2.5 dB, 15 dB to 17.5 dB, +/-5.5 dB, 17.5 dB to 20 dB, +/-7.5 dB, 20 dB to 40 dB, +/-7.5dB, Measurement Resolution - +/-0.1 dB. VSWR: Measurement Frequency Range - 10 MHz to 18 GHz, Measurement Range - 1.02:1 (40 dB Return Loss) to 11.1:1 (1.6 dB Return Loss) (50ohm impedance), Measurement Accuracy - Rho to 1.925, 1.925 to 1.43, 1.43 to 1.31, 1.31 to 1.22, Measurement Resolution - +0.1 dB, Distance to Fault: Measurement Range: 0 to 200ft., Measurement Accuracy (<60 dB Insertion Loss), 1.0 GHz bandwidth - +/-6 in (most fault types), 500 MHz bandwidth - +/-1 ft., 50 MHz bandwidth - +/-2 ft, Input Power: 115/220 volts AC, 50, 60 or 400HZ, Warm up Time: 3 minutes typical The test set should be capable of automatically or manually testing RF transmission lines, RF components, and microwave components. The test set should be menu driven. The test set should be capable of performing Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) testing via Insertion Loss (IL) and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). The test set should be capable of testing complete transmission line paths from end to end, from the aircraft Weapons Replaceable Assembly (WRA) to and including the aircraft antennas. RF transmission line paths tested will include individual coaxial and/or wave-guide transmission lines, connectors, power dividers, RF switches and splitters, and aircraft antennas. The test set should also be capable of generating pulse train patterns that simulate enemy radar transmissions. The test set should be capable of simulating a multiple threat scenario to test the Radar Warning Receiver in radiated or direct connect mode. The test set should contain a Built-In-Test (BIT) that automatically does a self test every time the unit is energized and can be operator initiated. The test set should be of open architecture design with a state of the art control interface. The test set should provide software download and sweep data recovery capability through the use of a removable memory module or flash card. Leverage of the USM-482 Fault Diagnostic Test Program Instructions (FDTPI) is a plus. Leverage of the USM-638 database is a plus. The test set must be rugged for operating in a flight deck environment on vessel and land based facilities during testing and troubleshooting of these Military aircraft components. Information is requested on the test sets capabilities to provide testing and troubleshooting of these Aircraft components. Information is requested on what, if any, cost effective modifications (or suggestions) are necessary to NDI units to meet military environmental requirements. Information is also requested on NDI items ability, or modifications necessary, to meet requirements of MIL-STD-810 (tailored to our requirements) for functional shock, humidity, vibration, transit drop, water resistance, salt fog, solar radiation (minimum), explosive atmosphere (minimum), and expected operating temperature ranges are –40C to +55C and non-operating –51C to +71C IAW Mil-Prf 28800F. The unit must meet Mechanical Random vibration requirements IAW MIL-STD-785, Task 301 & Thermal cycling IAW MIL-STD-785, Task 301 (this spec. has been cancelled but will be used as a guide and tailored to our requirements). In addition, the unit must meet EMI requirements of MIL-STD 461D (tailored to our requirements). The test set will be used in a carrier flight deck environment. The government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this request for information nor will the government compensate the respondent for any cost incurred in developing the information for the government. The Government will not release any information marked with a Proprietary legend, received in response to this RFI, to any firm, agency, or individual outside the Government without written permission in accordance to the legend. It is requested that information be submitted within 30 days after publications of this notice. Any request for copies of solicitations will not be addressed since this is a request for information, not a request for proposal. It is requested that information be submitted to: Alice Tornquist, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Highway 547 Bldg 562-1, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5000, or by electronic mail at: alice.tornquist@navy.mil. Ms. Alice Tornquist can be reached at 732-323-4478. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (18-MAY-2004); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
