66 -- RUNWAY APPROACH VELOCITY MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS SOL N68335-95-RFI-511 DUE 062295 POC Ms. Keisha Conway, Code 223KC, (908) 323-2136. Buyer/Contracting Officer is June Manganello, Code 223JM. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, (NAWCAD) is requesting information of systems that can measure aircraft velocity during landing approaches to shore based test runway at the Lakehurst Test Site. The landing approach is a precursor to arrestment on aircraft carrier style arresting gear based at the Lakehurst Test Sites. Approach velocity is a critical parameter for both safety of test and arresting gear performance evaluation. Technical Spec Requirments are as follows: Cooperative Target (Aircraft) Corridor for Velocity Measurement (Specified in Spherical Coordinates, referenced from engagement point), Max Range: )=1.5 miles from engagement point (over the CATS); Min Azimuth Angle: )=+/-5 degrees; Min Elevation Angle: 0 to 5 degrees from engagement point along glide slope. Velocity Measurement Specifications: Range: 40 to 250 Knots, Accuracy: +/-1 Knots. Instant of Engagement Definition - A velocity shall be reported within 20 feet before the engagement point and shall be considered the Engaging Velocity. A system that is economical, supportable, and easy to use is preferred. Transponder based systems will be considered but illuminating or convert sensing is preferred. Interested parties shall submit information to the Department of the Navy, Contracting Officer, 223KCB129-2, Naval Air Warfare Center, Hwy 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5082.
