Synopsis: The purpose of this RFI is to identify potential sources capable of upgrading the DAGR Distributed Device also known as the D3 (NSN 5825-01-621-9787). The D3 is a secure military GPS receiver that distributes positioning, navigation, and timing data to multiple client systems concurrently. The D3 currently hosts the Ground-Based GPS Receiver Application Module (GB-GRAM) with Selective Availability Anti-Spoof Module (SAASM) technology to access the secure Precise Positioning Service (PPS) GPS signal. The Government wishes to upgrade the D3 so that it can host any of the multiple prototype Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) GPS receiver cards that are being developed for the Air Force. D3 upgrades will facilitate an Air Force test and evaluation of candidate MGUE cards. Testing is currently scheduled to begin in the second quarter of FY15. D3 software upgrades will be required to incorporate new MGUE interface functionality and these modifications will require access to D3 internal firmware and software. D3 hardware upgrades may be required to incorporate the receiver cards. The D3 was procured as NDI, and the Government does not own any technical data for the D3 software or hardware. This effort does not include D3 production. The Government is solely looking for the capabilities of industry to upgrade the existing D3 product.
