99 -- RADAR DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT Sol F44650-95-R0003. Due 052495. Contact 2Lt Brian Spinelli, Contract Manager or Maj Brad Neihart, Contracting Officer (804) 764-4187. This is a modification to the CBD announcement issued on Thursday, January 12, 1995, Issue Number. PSA-1261, page 26. Description of COTS Radar data processing equipment to be procured in support of the Yuma TARS site is hereby revised as follows: The Air Combat Command Contracting Squadron intends to competitively acquire a Surveillance and Tracking Radar Processor (STRAP) to interface with the command's surveillance systems. The STRAP equipment will be capable of processing primary surveillance and/or secondary surveillance input data to produce digital radar target plot messages in various output formats (i.e., FAA Common digitizer, NTDS, S311 and SRR formats). Messages contain information reporting: target positions (range, azimuth, altitude); target identities (beacon code); weather intensity contour levels; and correlations between surveillance and beacon tracks. Messages will be output via modems for relay to a remote command and control center (i.e., ROCC, SOCC, C3IW). Targets of particular interest are low-flying, slow-moving aircraft. While simultaneously maintaining inherent target detection sensitivity, the maximum output false alarm rate will be kept low (i.e., an average of five or less false alarms per antenna rotation) to prevent overload at the remote operations center. As a minimum, the STRAP equipment shall accept inputs from and be interoperable with the following fixed, mobile, and airborne radar surveillance systems: AN/GPN-12, AN/GPN-20, AN/GPN-27, FAA ASR-5 series, ASR-7, ASR-8, AN/TPN-24, AN/MPN-14K, AN/TPS-43 series, AN/TPN-59, AN/TPS-63, AN/TPS-70, AN/TPS-75, L-88 and L-88A. The equipment will also accept input from Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSA) systems conforming to the AIMS-1000 standard. It will be capable of accepting input from any of these radar systems, whether analog or digital, without resort to hardware modifications. Inputs will include normal, weather/clutter and MTI/MTD video data; azimuth and timing data (i.e., ACPs, ARPs); SSR video; primary triggers; and beacon trigers. Electrical interfaces can be expected to conform to RS-232C, RS-422 or RS-449 standards. The primary output of the equipment will be digital radar and/or SSR target plots that comply with the previously mentioned military/civilian surveillance message formats. In addition, weather contour plots will be output in appropriate formats. Messages from the STRAP will be transmitted via modem at various digital data rates as selected by the site operator. The equipment will provide for internal digital to analog conversion of the outgoing messages to PPI video for local verification of output. The requirement is for FY 95. The solicitation issue dat is on or about 12 April 1995 and the closing date is on or about 24 May 1995. Proposed contract will be awarded as Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity and will call for a basic performance period with four one year options. Only written and facsimile requests for solicitation will be accepted. Telefax number is (804) 764-4206. Requests shall indicate if the company is small, large, woman-owned or a disadvantaged business. All responsible sources may submit a proposal. (037)
