SOURCES SOUGHT: The Marine Corps Systems Command is seeking information on potential sources of a replacement for the AN/TPS-63 and AN/TPS-73 radar. The replacement radar must be capable of detecting tactical aircraft to 150 nmi/100,000 ft, medium range TBMs to 200 nmi/500,000 ft and low observable (0.01 m2 targets) to the radar horizon with a 90% probability of detection for each. Additionally, the system must possess the capability to initiate a ''search and track'' on information obtained from either a Cooperative Engagement (CEC) Net or Tactical Digital Information link J (Tadil J) and a low probability of intercept (LPI) transmission characteristics. The radar must be highly mobile, able to be moved by a single 5 Ton truck with a set up time of 10 minutes or less. At this time, the Marine Corps is only interested in surveying industry to determine the level of interest and capability therein. NO SOLICITATION IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE OR SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE. Any responses to this announcement must be in writing and forwarded to the address above. The due date for responses is 28 March 1996. Interested parties are invited to provide any information detailing their capabilities and product offerings. This information will potentially be used in making a decision as to whether or not to pursue the replacement program. No telephonic responses will be accepted. (0030)
