The primary focus of this notice is to identify interested sources for information and planning purposes only. Potential sources need not show capability in all areas; if there is expertise in some areas, identify and concentrate on those areas. AEWTTR products include 1) AN/GPQ-11 (V) / Reactive Track and EW / Threat Systems; 2) AN/GPQ-11 (V) and EW / Threat Depot Level Support; 3) Threat EW Range Architecture, Training and Test Enabling Architecture (TENA), and Threat Interfaces; 4) Threat System Parameter Verification, Updates, & Maintenance; 5) AN/GPQ-11 (V) and EW / Threat Equipment Upgrades; 6) AN/GPQ-11 (V) and EW System Initial Spares; 7) Threat / EW Range Infrastructure Upgrades; 8) Threat Range Instrumentation Integration; 9) Smart Targets / Multi-Spectral Threats and Threat Integration; 10) Prototypes, Demonstrations, and Studies; 11) JNTC, Fleet Exercises, and Battle Experiment Integration; and 12) Threat and Threat System Instrumentation Technical Support. Because of the interactive nature of the AEWTTR products and the thrust to emphasize commonality and joint interoperability across all Department of Defense (DOD) ranges, integration plays a key role in the projects executed by this IPT. Therefore, it is critical for the contractor to not only have highly qualified employees, but also have the necessary infrastructure to procure and assume responsibility for major subsystems and components. The contractor shall design, develop, upgrade, procure, fabricate, install, integrate, test, maintain, and repair AN/GPQ-11(V) reactive track and electronic warfare (EW) threat systems designed to provide a dense, realistic, electromagnetic environment to be used by the defense community for weapon systems development, test and evaluation, test and evaluation of defense suppression systems, electronic countermeasures (ECM) equipment, and electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) equipment. The contractor shall design, develop, upgrade, procure, fabricate, install, integrate, and test threat variants and various types of EW threat systems to simulate various worldwide threats. The contractor shall review and evaluate production design data and documentation. The contractor shall provide operational requirements assessment and validation applicable to the Threat Presentation Program. The contractor shall support the development of Training and Test Enabling Architecture (TENA) object models. This effort includes the production of hardware, software, and integrated solutions to extending and developing the EW architecture. The contractor shall provide threat/EW range communications and connectivity interfaces, including range interface boards, such as the Range Interface Board (RIB), threat and range gateway TENA interfaces, red/black interfaces, trusted guard interfaces, and encryption interfaces. The contractor shall accomplish these efforts on both Navy and Joint ranges, such as the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC), including major exercises and battle experiments. The contractor shall provide threat/EW range infrastructure products, including communication systems/networking systems, sites, shelters, power production and power distribution systems, towers, control centers, and other related systems as required to integrate and operate threat/EW range systems. The contractor shall also provide the threat/EW range mobile connectivity required to conduct training in a mobile and dynamic environment. The contractor shall provide the equipment and connectivity necessary to accommodate operation of range threat/EW and instrumentation systems. The contractor shall provide logistics support, and establish and maintain a depot like environment for accomplishing reactive track, EW, and other threat systems equipment updates. The contractor shall maintain the Government-approved system configuration for hardware and software baselines at all times. The contractor shall track changes and perform all necessary hardware and software work required to accomplish the updates. The contractor shall provide hardware updates and modifications to reactive track, EW, and other threat systems. The contractor shall perform Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS) Control and Computational Subsystem (CCS)/EW Server to threat systems integration. This work includes all necessary and related work regarding the related processors, networking, software, red/black separation, EW server threat integration software development, and threat integration with pairing, control, set-up, and configuration systems.
