- Description
- The application is for a HDR RF ground capability for ground-to-space communication. An appropriate antenna system is needed to support this HDR-RF ground capability. This antenna system will transmit and receive up to 274 Mbps via the Wideband Gapfiller Satellite (WGS) utilizing its Ka frequency band (31/21.2 GHz), in an expected channelizer bypass mode, and eventually the Ka band on Transformational Satellites (TSat). Additionally, this capability will need to support the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) frequency band (45.5/21.2 GHz) on Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) and TSat systems. Two (2) antennas are being solicited for the antenna system. The main differences between the two antennas are their G/T and EIRP requirements (ref table below). The table also provides other detailed antenna performance requirements. Each antenna must support multiple carrier operations. The HDR-RF ground antennas are expected to be controlled by and monitored from a variety of existing and future DoD SATCOM terminals. The Government is looking to begin development of a HDR RF ground capability in FY05, with an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY08 to synchronize with the WGS Flight 4 launch in FY09. See attached HDR-RF RFI (5 Sep 2004) for more information.
