58 -- RF/IF SIGNAL GENERATOR SOL N00163-96-SS10 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 RF/IF signal generator to generate signals for built-in-test (BIT) in a radar simulator. This item will be used in a US Navy airborne, 20 inch diameter podded, electronic countrmeasure 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 RF/IF BIT assembly that meets the following criteria: a) Provides RF signals over a frequency range of 7.5 - 10.0 GHz and 14.0 to 17.0 GHz and selected fixed frequencies in the 60 - 400 MHz range, b) Variable output from -100 to +10dBm, c) other desirable capabilities are pulsed and frequency agile through external control to permit the generation of electronic countermeasures techniques such as range gate pull-off, lobing, swept modulation schemes, etc, and d) Operate in an airborne pod environment which includes vibration and shock levels representative of carrier take-offs and landings. Responding parties should providea 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)
