- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI) from the U. S. Army Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center, MA, to identify sources interested in providing technical information on methods to develop a low-cost in-aircraft GPS re-transmis sion system. The desired capabilities of the GPS re-transmission system are as follows: (1) provide a usable GPS signal to the entire cargo bay and flight deck of the aircraft (aircraft sizes ranging from that of a helicopter to as large as a C-17); typic al aircraft include MC-130, C-130 E and H models, USMC C-130J, and C-17, (2) ability to draw GPS signal from the existing aircraft mid-course receiver (AE-1 or GAS-1) GPS antenna extenders, (3) have an option to draw the signal from a windshield mounted GP S antenna (included in the kit), (4) have the ability to be battery powered (for use as a stand-alone system in a smaller aircraft) or use aircraft 28V power supply, (5) have a signal amplifier with automatic gain control to accommodate the variable signal strengths typically seen (9dB 45dB) on aircraft, (6) amplifier rack-mountable in a standard avionics rack. Proprietary information will not be disclosed outside of the U.S. Government. All interested firms, regardless of size, are encouraged to respon d to this request for information.
