Description

Sources Sought Notice: The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards Air Force Base, CA is seeking potential sources capable of providing one-thousand watt high power amplifiers, in support of the 412th Test Wing range program upgrade for flight Termination Systems. Requirement is for; two (02) 1000 Watt High Power Amplifiers. Features: 1000-watts HPA Drawer w/Antenna, 3500-watts Power Supply Drawer. Local/Remote and Discrete Controller Drawer. These units will be integrated into the mobile ground flight termination system for the range safety group. The amplifiers will be utilized as part of the command and destruct system. In the event that an errant missile or unmanned vehicle is no longer controllable during a mission, the system will be used to terminate the vehicle to prevent catastrophe or mishaps to populated areas. "(Standard Specifications)" Equipment Consist List: (1) Microprocessor Controller Drawer 19?W x 21?D x 5.25?H Wt 20lbs (1) High Power Amplifier (HPA) Drawer 19?W x 27?D x 8.75?H Wt 120lbs (1) 3000 Watt DC Power Supply Drawer 19?W x 21?D x 5.25?H Wt 50lbs Frequency Range: 370-450MHz RF Output Power: 1000 Watts @ P1dB Minimum RF Gain: 60dB Minimum RF Input Power: -3dBm to +6dBm, +10dBm Maximum without damage RF Gain Flatness: +2db Maximum into 1.05:1 VSWR RF Output Power Selectivity: Continuously Variable with 20 dB Minimum range Harmonics and Spurious: -90 dBc min. @ 1,000 Watts RF Output Power up to 2750 MHz. RF Input & Output Impedance: 50 ohms Nominal RF Input & Output Connectors: Type ?N? Female RF Input & Output VSWR: 2.0:1 Maximum RF Input Protection: Integral Isolator protected up to 1250 watts with no damage Open or Short or any mismatch.
