16 -- MOVING TARGET INDICATOR AND SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR POC Gail Ellis, Contract Specialist, (703) 349-5726/Susan Pearson, Contracting Officer (703) 349-5713. The U.S. Army, Program Managers for Signals Warfare and the C4IEW Acquisition Center - Vint Hill, issue this sources sought for immediately available wide area Moving Target Indicator and Synthetic Aperture Radar (MTI/SAR) surveillance system. It is critical the radar system be currently (immediately) ''off-the-shelf'' available, with spares (real - not a vugraph system), and with no modifications required to meet submitted capabilities (must be real time, available right now). At a minimum, the following information is required: MTI radar detection range (max, min, vs various RCS targets); Detection and tracking performance against ground and sea targets in clutter environment to include minimum and maximum detectable velocities and false alarm rates; Performance under degraded weather and battlefield obscurant conditions; Concurrent MTI and SAR real-time processing capability (processing time from detection to display); Range and azimuthal resolution of MTI and SAR; Range and azimuthal coverage of MTI and SAR; MTI and SAR target location accuracy with required navigation interface to obtain these accuracies; SAR processing range (max, min); Number of moving targets that can be overlaid on SAR map; System dimensions; Antenna options; System interface requirements; Individual component and total system weight; Power requirements and interfaces; Ability to be externally controlled; Description of demonstration that evaluated system capabilities; EMC/EMI test data; Reliability and Maintainability data (MTBF, MTTR, Ao); Logistical support considerations; Systems availability for procurement and demonstration; Type of airborne platform(s) their MTI/SAR has flown on; Type of software and architecture utilized. Interested and responsible sources capable of fulfilling these requirements must respond within 15 days after publication of this announcement to the above address. It is the responsibility of the interested offeror to provide sufficient data to the Government that will support and document their contention that they can perform this effort. The Government shall not be rsponsible for any costs incurred by interested offerors responding to this source sought. This is not a request for proposal. (0307)
