58 -- RADAR, ANTENNA/GIMBAL, I/J BAND SOL N00163-96-SS02 DUE 020896 POC Contact Point, David M. Barry, (317)306-3660, Contracting Officer, C. William Borders, (317)306-3623, Additional Contact, Fax: D. Barry, (317)306-3066 This is a market survey requesting information to satisfy a requirement for a Radar Antenna/Gimbal assembly capable of providing 2-axis scans in the I/J Band RF spectrum. This item will be used in a US Navy airborne, 20 inch diameter podded, electronic countermeasure system. The Navy intends to investigate availability of qualified sources that have a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) or non-developmental item (NDI) that can be used in a cost effective manner. Potential vendors must have a radar antenna/gimbal assembly that meets the following criteria: a) Interchangeable antenna capable of frequency coverage in the 7.6 - 9.6 GHz and 14.2 - 17.0 Ghz with switchable or reconfigurable H/V polarizations, b) Full monopulse capability with peak power handling of 100 kW minimum at 2.0:1 VSWR, c) The gimbal must be capable of azimuth and elevation scans up to +/- 50 degrees in azimuth and 20 degrees up to 50 degrees down in elevation with scan rates in excess of 100 degrees per second, possible roll axis stabilization and d) The gimbal electronics should be controllable through standard digital interfaces. Responding parties should provide a description of their proposed hardware, identify its present utilization, status of production, qualification, lead time, and production cost predicated upon an initial procurement of 4-8 engineering models beginning in FY-98. Only written responses will be accepted as this market survey is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a request for bids or proposals and is not to be construed as a commitment by the government nor does the government intend to pay for any expense incurred by any respondents to this market survey. Interested sources should submit requested information to Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division, Attn: David M. Barry, Code: 2.1.5/45, 6000 East 21st Street, Indianapolis, IN, 46219-2189 NLT 8 FEB 96. (0353)
