- Description
- The Air Force is looking for technical expertise and products that will enable the start of the development of an HDR Ground capability in FY05, with an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY08 to compliment the Wideband Gapfiller Satellite 4 (WGS4) launch in FY09. An HDR modem is required to support both ground to air and ground-to-space communications for Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft and Command and Control (C2) aircraft. This modem must be compliant with Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Software Communications Architecture (SCA) architecture version 3.0. In addition to the waveforms associated with WGS satellites, the modem must be able to support, through SCA reprogramability, future Transformational Satellite (TSAT) waveforms. The HDR modem must achieve a variable data rate capability up to 274 Mbps (at least for the receiving end). The modem must have enough processing capability to achieve these data rates in the presence of turbo decoders. The HDR modem will be based upon open, industry standard interfaces and will be controlled and monitored from a variety of existing and Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) applications. This RFI will be used by ESC/NI4 in the development of an acquisition strategy for an HDR-RF ground capability. The Air Force is seeking industry’s help in determining the optimum approach to achieving a Tactical Ground capability of operating at the high data rate described above. Both, the option to integrate HDR-RF modem capabilities into an existing ground satellite Non-Developmental Item (NDI) terminals and the development of a new terminal with the enhanced capability should be explored. Your rationale for the preferred approach would be a key element in the development of our acquisition strategy. See attached HDR-RF CAM RFI (1 Sep 2004) for more information.
