The MDS contains the non-cooperative sensor and telemetry (TM) downlink. The MDS and AN/GSQ-228 together form the AN/USQ-104A Scoring System. The AN/USQ-104A is a non-cooperative scalar scoring system. In addition, there will be associated integral logistics products and obsolescence engineering requirements for any specific AN/DSQ-50A hardware. Interested parties may submit technical literature/brochures on their products or solutions that meet the requirements as set forth in the provided specification (TGT-TAS-056A).
