58 -- TARGET GATE GENERATOR SOL RFQ JM-COMMG1 POC Jeff Marshall, LSO-360, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899. Lockheed Space Operations Company (LSOC), a NASA prime contractor at Kenendy Space Center (KSC), FL, seeks sources capable of providing a Target Gate Generator which is a part of the Ku-Band Radar Test Set at KSC. The Target Gate Generator shall interpret target parameters and produce real time flight path information. The flight path data shall consist of a target gate which is a pulse with a programmable pulse width delayed in time from its reference pre-transmitted pulse. The Target Gate Generator shall also produce Doppler information in the form of a triangular waveform equal in frequency to the Doppler shift of the target plus an offset frequency of 270 Khz, and shall use existing signals for master timing, RF frequency, pulse width and mode determinations. The Target Gate Generator shall be a ''C'' sized VXI card to be housed in a VXI chassis and shall be controlled via the chassis backplane busses which will be controlled by a slot zero controller. All target gate parameters such as range, range rate, acceleration and Doppler shall be software accessible. Frequency, pulse width and mode information used to generate target information shall also be software accessible. The Target Gate Generator shall be capable of being serviced for an operational life of 15 years. Operations, Maintenanace and Calibration Manuals, as well as schematic drawings, shall also be required. Interested firms should submit data on their products and capabilities to reach LSOC no later than 04/17/95. Include any existing price lists or a ROM of costs. This synopsis does not commit LSOC to make award or to issue a formal solicitation, which is subject to availability of funds. Address Lockheed Space Operations Company, P. O. Box 21166, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32815, Attn: Jeff Marshall, Mail Code LSO-360. Questions accepted via FAX at FAX (407)867-7068. (0086)
