Army Contracting Command-Rock Island (ACC-RI) is seeking industry comment and feedback on this DRFP's content prior to release of a final RFP. The DRFP is being issued for the sole purpose of receiving questions/comments from potential offerors regarding the requirement for the development and deployment of the Power Control and Management Subsystem (PCMS). The draft language contained herein is a representative of what may be in the final RFP. 1. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island (ACC-RI), Rock Island, IL, has a non-commercial requirement to support the Wideband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Operations Management System (WSOMS) with the development and deployment of the Power Control and Management Subsystem (PCMS) for Project Manager, Defense Communications and Army Transmission Systems (PM DCATS), Product Manager, Wideband Enterprise Satellite Systems (PM WESS). This procurement is for the PCMS, which will be used over military Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellites, and potentially used over leased transponders of commercial wideband satellites in C, Ku, and Ka bands. The PCMS will enable more efficient use of communications resources, and aid in link anomaly detection and resolution. The major goals of the PCMS are to provide link power control and power and bandwidth monitoring for all communications links of enterprise and tactical terminal Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) communications networks. This will include out-of-beam spectrum collection and processing to support Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) detection, and providing a text orderwire to tactical terminals (positive control). A Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for the PCMS has been prepared by the Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (SMDC/ARSTRAT) and is provided as part of this RFI to provide additional information on PCMS architecture, requirements, and operations. 2.
