- Description
- The purpose of the Market Survey is to locate potential industry sources capable of providing the following system support for the Small Tactical Radar - Lightweight Synthetic Aperture Radar (STARLite) Payload System: Engineering Support of hardware and software/firmware; Materials for updating, maintaining, and sustaining the system; Logistic/Configuration Management; Associated Support & Testing tools; Equipment retrofit; Field Service Engineers (FSEs) and Field Service Representatives (FSRs); and Depot Level Repair. The source shall furnish all necessary labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and services to perform depot level sustainment and repair support. The STARLite Payload System is composed of the Small Tactical Radar - Lightweight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)/Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) Radar hardware/software components. The STARLite SAR/GMTI program is an Acquisition Category (ACAT) III program. The STARLite is a lightweight, high-performance, all-weather, multi-functional radar system that is integrated onto the multi-purpose Gray Eagle Unmanned Aircraft (UA) and Persistent Surveillance System- Tethered (PSS-T) Large platforms. The STARLite generates quality images for use by battlefield commanders for the detection and classification of commercial, wheeled vehicle-size targets, as well as the location and tracking of moving ground targets. STARLite also provides a tactically responsive asset with wide area, near real-time reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition capabilities. It operates throughout the UA's flight mission profile in adverse weather and through battlefield obscurants to provide the battlefield commander with increased situational awareness. When integrated onto the PSS-T Large platform, STARLite incorporates Ground and Dismount Moving Target Indicator (GMTI/DMTI) capability. The STARLite Payload SAR/GMTI radar is comprised an A-Kit which consists of mounting hardware, cables and blower assembly and a B-Kit which consists of four (4) Line Replaceable Units (LRUs): LN-251 INS/GPS, Electronics Assembly, Antenna Assembly and Power Supply. Interested vendors are required to provide a technical and management approach to meet the below requirements and be able to demonstrate the ability to provide support immediately for the ongoing requirements of fielded STARLite systems: a) Engineering Support for hardware and software/firmware for the system. b) Materials for updating, maintaining, and sustaining the system. c) Logistic/Configuration Management. d) Associated Support & Testing tools. e) Equipment retrofit. f) FSEs and FSRs to provide system integration, testing, training, operation and maintenance support at designated CONUS/OCONUS sites. g) Depot Level Repair on the system which shall include: LN-251 INS/GPS, Electronics Assembly, Antenna Assembly and Power Supply. All responses should include a cover page with the following information: 1) Company Name, Contact Name, Position, Telephone, Email, Company URL. 2) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. 3) North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) number. 4) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. 5) Identification of business size, i.e. U.S. large or small business in relation to North American Industry Classification System Code 811219- Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.
