- Description
- The Advanced Photonic Technologies Branch (Code 55360) of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC-PAC) is currently studying an Advanced High-Data-Rate (AdvHDR) Satellite Communication (SATCOM) system for submarines. This system is currently in the development and proof- of-concept phase with the goal of transitioning to the prototype stage in the coming years. SSC-PAC is teamed with Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Newport, RI on the AdvHDR program, where SSC-PAC is responsible for the development of a RF-over-fiber subsystem that will be used to transfer SATCOM signals from a phased array antenna located in the mast to a the SATCOM terminal located inboard. SSC-PAC Technical Report 1991 (January 2010) describes laboratory testing of a multi-channel RF-over-fiber WDM link for AdvHDR that was subsequently used in successful over- the-air SATCOM testing. The RF-over- fiber transmitters and receivers described in this report were assembled from COTS lasers, modulators, detectors, and RF amplifiers. In more recent work, all RF photonic links described in this report (except the Q-band link) have been replaced with COTS packaged transmitters and receivers. This system is currently undergoing over- the-air SATCOM testing. The next step planned in this development is to reduce size required by the transmitters, receivers and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) components by integrating all outboard transmitters and receivers into a single unit and all inboard transmitters and receivers into a single unit. Reducing the size requirement for the mast mounted system is of particular interest. This compact, multi-channel WDM, RF-over-fiber signal distribution subsystem is the subject of this RFI. The purposes of this RFI is to conduct market research to gain knowledge and help the Government identify potential sources that are interested in responding to a future solicitation of a multi-channel RF-over-fiber link. Potential responders should provide information regarding capability of meeting the Governments requirements, estimated anticipated cost, and lead time of such a link. Potential responders should provide information describing estimated approximate size, and power requirements of the mast mounted unit and the inboard unit. Estimate of the size and power of the mast mounted unit is of particular interest. See Attachment for RFI Requirements
