- Description
- The Electronic Systems Center (ESC) is seeking qualified sources to provide a combination broadband signal analyzer, recorder, generator, and playback system with advanced RF signals analysis cpability in support of the support of Airborne, Maritime, Fixed (AMF) Joint Tactical Radio Set (JTRS) advanced testing and verification. This system must include the combination of the above features in a single rack-mount system, with the following minimum requirements: 12 GB of high speed signal memory simultaneous record and playback operations dual 60 MHz / 255 MHz instantaneous bandwidth inputs and outputs 2 MHz to 3 GHz RF range, with 1 Hz phase locked tuning resolution synthesized time bases removable 80 GB and 300 GB hard drives (integrated in system) dual Xeon embedded processors dual gigabit Ethernet interfaces advanced generic and radio-centric signal analysis software (integrated and installed in system) advanced generic and radio-centric signal generation software (integrated and installed in system) capable of playing back JITC-recorded radio databases compatible with JITC advanced analyzer/recorder/generator/playback systems Scaleable. Supports, at a minimum, SRW, MUOS, WNW, SINCGARS and IW waveforms and allows for growth of future waveforms One year full warranty The system must be delivered within 120 days after the placement of order. The system must delivered with advanced RF Signal Analysis Software with the capability to support the JTRS advanced waveforms require in Increment One of the AMF program. These waveforms include WNW, SRW, and MUOS. Qualified sources must demonstrate that they meet the following minimum requirements: Extensive experience in radio-centric analysis and JTRS radio test instrumentation. Extensive experience in advanced signal processing and multi-domain test concepts. Develop RF Analysis capabilities that operate on Aeroflex CS65020F BSAG and CS35020F BSA test instruments. Develop RF analysis capabilities that can be integrated seamlessly into the BSAG and BSA instrument environment. Perform detailed waveform investigation on advanced waveforms to identify critical measurement parameters, and provide detailed reviews and reports to customer prior to waveform analysis module development. Develop modules that provide RF parametric measurement data on critical Signals in Space (SIS) parameters useful for waveform testing. Develop modules that include freqquency, time, modulation, and bits wherever possible in hopped and hon-hopped waveform configurations. Develop three to six analysis modules as directed by customer. Provide customer training and training materials (at customer site) for up to 8 students. Have SECRET level clearances and facilities to handle classified waveform specifications. Complete all tasks in 12 month period. Interested firms are invited to provide a qualifications/quote package containing the following information: (1) Company name, address and point of contact (2) Web site URL (if available) (3) The size of your company (in personnel) (4) A description of any existing software modules that address the technical requirements indicated above, said description being in the form of (a) pamphlets or other forms of written documentation or (b) URLs to web site pages on which such modules are described. (5) The hardware platform(s) and operating system(s) with which your software is compatible. (6) A copy of your software licensing agreement. (7) A description of the technical support service(s) offered by your company. (8) Examples of other government/military clients who have used (or are currently using) your software. Firms may provide their qualifications package via e-mail or they may provide two hardcopies and one electronic copy (CD) of their qualifications package to 653 ELSG/KC, 5 Eglin Street, (MITRE D Building), Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts 01731-2100, Attn: Walter Ronten (walter.ronten@hanscom.af.mil).
