58 -- RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSOR UNIT SOL N00163-96-SS11 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 digital processor unit to perform analog to digital conversion and high speed digital processing for radar search, acquisition, and tracking functions. 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 data processor that meets the following criteria: a) Provides the digital processing power to perform search, acquisition, and three-axis tracking of a software controlled non-coherent radar system with an expandable number of high speedA-D & D-A conversion and I/O ports, b) Optional capabilities of radar scan conversion and potential growth for coherent radar signal processing is desired, but not required, c) Include a basic operating system supported by a widely available software language with tools, and, d) Operate in an airborne pod environment which includes carrier take-offs and landings. 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 3-4 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 of the respondent 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.(0002)
