Longview Street, Kilgore, TX 75662, for the procurement over the next five years of 250 Enhanced Tactical Satellite Signal Processor TD- 1473 for the AN/TSC-93 and AN/TSC- 85, these systems have been certified through the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The Enhanced Tactical Satellite Signal Processor TD-1473 is a synchronous time-division multiplexer that provides both aggregate interfaces to satellite modems and group interfaces to ground equipment. The TD-1473 shall be interoperable with the legacy TD- 1337 equipment, the VertexRSI NSM- 8448, VertexRSI NSM-20M and other ETSSP???s compatible with MIL-STD-188- 168, Interoperability Standard for SHF Satellite Communications Baseband Equipment. The TD-1473 shall couple the ETSSP with an integrated control computer in a 7-rack unit (RU) aluminum enclosure. The front panel shall have two power switches, a mating connector for the H-250 handset, eight (8) green status indicator LED???s, one (1) yellow attention (ATTN) LED, one (1) red summary error (ERR) LED, and two (2) handles that facilitate easy installation/removal to/from a 19-inch rack or other type of housing. A rugged notepad PC shall be mounted in the front panel that runs the Graphical User Interface (GUI) software to allow setup and control of all ETSSP functions. The computer screen shall be touch-sensitive and shall operate via a stylus mounted near the right side handle. The rear panel shall have a power connector, an RS-485 connector that facilitates linkage with the monitor and control PC, a BNC connector for connection to an external timing reference, and shall provide interfaces for the dedicated user, Vinson, NRZ, CDI, T1 and E1 ports. The TD-1473 physical data shall be Width 18.94 inches, Depth 16.75 inches, Height 12.25 inches, and Weight 26 lbs. The TD-1473 environmental data shall be Non-operating -40 to 85 Temperature_(Ambient), Operating 0 to 50 (32 to 122) Non-operating 0 to 95% non- condensing Relative Humidity, Operating 0 to 95% non-condensing, Non-operating to 40,000 ft. above mean sea level Altitude l, and Operating to 10,000 ft. above mean sea level. The TD-1473 shall contain three AC/DC power supplies which shall have a 115 VAC (nominal) input. The first power supply shall provide regulated +5, +3.3 and +12 VDC outputs, which satisfy the power requirements of the main printed circuit board assembly and blower fan. The second power supply shall provide -12 VDC to the main printed circuit board. The third power supply shall provide +19 VDC to the integrated control computer mounted behind the front panel. The 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz AC power shall input via the AC power cable and is supplied to the TD-1473 circuit breaker/switch title MAIN POWER on the front panel. The switch in turn shall provide operating voltages to each respective power supply and ultimately all internal circuitry. Grounding to the user equipment rack shall consist of a grounding strap attached to the TD-1473 grounding lug and connected to the chassis of the equipment rack. The Input Power is 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. An Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price type contract is anticipated. Delivery of 5- 10 each of the 50 each is required within 120-180 days after contract award; partial shipment will be accepted on the remaining with 10 each to be delivered each month thereafter until the total has been delivered.
