- Description
- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has a requirement for RFIJ Systems. The RFIJ system hardware simulates or replicates actual threat jamming waveforms of existing and emerging threat open air jamming systems which are available world-wide. These jamming waveforms are targeted against United States (US) armed forces and their voice communications, data transmissions and Global Positioning System (GPS) signals. Tentative delivery location is Redstone Arsenal, AL in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-2014. Acronym List: RJU - Remote Jamming Unit AGPSJ - Advanced GPS Jammer SUT - System Under Test CST - Control Signal Transmitter OAC - Open Air Capability FCC - Federal Communications Commission COMS - Communications HMMWV - High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle RFIJ Systems have three major components comprising its key jamming functions. They are as follows: 1. Control Signal Transmitter (CST): An electronics device that broadcasts signals (30 to 3000 MHz) that activate and direct both the RJU and AGPSJ injection jammer units attached to the SUTs scattered across the test range in use. The CST is positioned on a test range just as live jamming assets would be; however, instead of broadcasting actual jamming waveforms, the device transmits (FCC allowed) un-restricted control tones. These tones are received by the RJU and/or AGPSJ devices attached to the SUTs. These "injection jammers" then translate the control tones received into pre-programmed commands and commences insert or "inject" these pre-programmed threat waveforms into the SUT. This is what is referred to as "Injection Jamming." 2. COMS Remote Jamming Unit (RJU): A low power electronics package in a rugged metal case that simultaneously produces up to four separate threat representative jamming signals (30 to 3000 MHz) used against voice and data transmissions which the RJU inserts (or injects) into the SUT directly into the receiver circuitry. This process mimics the effect of using a live, open-air jammer, but eliminates the unintended consequences (ex. jamming equipment that aren't part of the test event) associated with such live jamming into the atmosphere. 3. Advanced GPS Jammer (AGPSJ): Similar in size and function as the RJU; however, it concentrates on injecting various GPS threat jamming signals (1227.6 to 1575.42 MHz) which in turn denies, disrupts or distorts the true GPS signal location transmissions. The distortion or the transmission of erroneous GPS signal data is commonly referred to as "Spoofing." Both the RJU and AGPSJ housing use the same case. In FY 2013 and continuing in FY 2014, the contemplated procurement will consist of: 1. Five-Channel RJU Devices: These units will contain both COMS and GPS injection jamming capabilities. The operating parameters of these 5-channel units will match those of the previous injection jammers (30 - 3000 MHz). It is anticipated that 290 devices will be procured. 2. The second item to be procured during this timeframe will be the Low Power, All Weather, Remotely positioned, autonomously operating Control Signal Transmitter and Open Air Capability (CST-OAC) unit. While the design will be true to the original CST capabilities (30 - 3000 MHz), this unit will have a much shorter operating range by using a lower powered (estimated 10 Watt instead of 50 Watt) amplifier. These units will be capable of achieving one week of continuous operations and only require minimal servicing during that time. Plans are to use a Harris RF-7800 or an Intuicom EB6 plus TAC radio (Government furnished) for remote control operations. It is anticipated that 40 devices will be procured. 3. Two-Channel (Man-Portable) RJU Device: These units will contain COMS injection jamming capabilities and are designed to match with the JTRS SFF-B TAC Radio and its operating frequencies. This device will be installed in the Interceptor Body Armor Vest (Improved Outer Tactical Vest - IOTV) where it will replace one of the Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts (ESAPI) armor plates for testing during Operational Test events at a typical test range such as White Sands Missile Range. It is anticipated that 220 devices will be procured. It's the Government's intent to provide the complete "technical data package (TDP)" (drawings, files, firmware, etc.) for production. The technical data package is not currently available for release; but, it will be made part of the formal solicitation. RESPONSES REQUESTED: Contractors desiring to be considered for this opportunity are requested to respond to the Contract Specialist listed below by 1600hrs on the closing date listed above. Interested offerors shall provide the name of the company, business size, business type, other pertinent business characteristics, company location, brief synopsis of the relevant capabilities and experience, and a description of warranties that could be offered with the procured items. For small businesses, interested offerors shall indicate how they will comply with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, if this effort were to be totally or partially set aside for small business. PEO STRI will be providing a full TDP in the RFP. Details on what industry considers to be a full TDP shall also be provided with the company information. For example, what are the names, types, quantities, drawings and formats of the documents that industry expects in a TDP. Submissions do not have a page limit restriction. ADDITIONAL INFO: Although subject to change, the anticipated North America Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this effort is 334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. DISCLAIMER: This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not commit the Government to any contractual agreement. This is not a request for proposals. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on responses under this announcement nor otherwise pay for preparing any information sent or the Government's use of the information. Any proprietary information should be so marked. Interested organizations presenting a capability statement in response to this announcement must identify their size status. A list of interested offerors may be made publically available on a future date.
