- Description
- The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) is seeking sources that can provide a radar power upgrade from 4 kW to 8kW. Background: The Dugway Meteorology Division acquired a 449 MHz radar wind profiler from DeTect, Inc. in 2008. The system was built to be upgradeable. After using the profiler for over four years, it has been determined that additional power output, which would result in a measurement of wind speed and direction at higher altitudes, is required to provide additional meteorological support for Dugway customers. In order to obtain that capability, and to maintain compatibility and standardization among all of the current profiler equipment, the new amplifiers and ancillary circuitry can only be seamlessly provided by the suggested vendor. Based on market research, it is believed that the manufacturer is the only vendor that can provide the necessary hardware and interoperable software to upgrade the power of the profiler. Description of Service/Supplies: Provide a radar power upgrade from 4 kW to 8kW. This includes the following check of equipment, upgrade of equipment, and verification and any additional requirements for the power upgrade; an acceptance test plan and a checklist that will be used to verify improved operation; updated manuals and other documentation as required. 1.Upgrade power from 4 kW to 8 kW. Include the following check of equipment, upgrade of equipment, and verify any additional requirements for the power upgrade. a.Antenna i.Check if the 4-way can handle 8 kW peak power b.Facility i.Rack (Add additional rails, reorganize racks) ii.Check the AC distribution Rack iii.Check the load in the UPS iv.Check the Breaker Panel c.PDS i.PHM (Need to rewire both, but can be done onsite) ii.RFT (Reset power levels for both, but can be done onsite) d.Spares i.Verify what spares are needed after the power upgrade. e.T/R i.Check power specifications on the Dual-Directional Coupler.
