- Description
- 1.0 The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) is seeking industry comment on the potential development and production of Communications at Speed & Depth (CSD) capabilities for U.S. Navy submarines. This capability will provide communications with submarines while they are submerged at normal operating depths and traveling at speeds required to perform tactical operations. CSD extends the FORCEnet construct to stealthy undersea Navy platforms with the purpose of increasing the effectiveness of these platforms in achieving the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) SEAPOWER 21 vision. Currently, the Navy is interested in the development and/or production of a Family of Systems including Buoyant Cable Antenna with High Frequency Internet Protocol (BCA w/HF IP), Untethered Expendable Communications Buoy (UECB), Tethered Expendable Communications Buoy (TECB), Tactical Paging Buoy (TPB), and Buoy Interface Unit (BIU). It is requested that industry review the attached draft specifications (posted at SPAWAR E-Commerce website) for each type of buoy and provide questions/comments as to the Government's requirements including, but not limited to: completeness, technical feasibility and any data right issues. Questions/comments may be submitted via email to Karen Rainville at karen.rainville@navy.mil or may be submitted via the SPAWAR e- commerce site. Questions/comments are due by 1600 (PST), 06 September 2006. To access the SPAWAR E-Commerce Central website, go to https://e- commerce.spawar.navy.mil.
