70 -- RADAR INTERFACE UNIT POC Lt. Alfonso Rosabal, POC, 617-377-4285; Michael Garrish, Contracting Officer, 617-377-3858; Walter Ronten, Negotiator, 617-377-8474. MARKET SURVEY OF AVAILABLE RADAR INTERFACE UNIT IN SUPPORT OF THE REGION/SECTOR OPERATIONS CONTROL CENTER (R/SOCC) MODERNIZATION PROGRAM. HQ ESC/ENS (PRISM) is seeking potential COTS/GOTS/NDI solutions to satisfy the requirement for providing a Radar Interface Unit for the R/SOCC. It is anticipated that existing technologies and products can satisfy this need. These existing technologies and or products are expected to meet open system architectures (e.g., UNIX, POSIX, etc.), emphasizing government and industry standards. As such, ESC/ENS is attempting to identify potential sources and gather information of readily available Radar Interface Unit(s). Sources are invited to provide technical information, technical data/fact sheets, background papers, studies, existing contract information, etc., and availability of their product(s). The Radar Interface Unit must interface with a large variety of existing radar. These include all Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR), Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) radar, AN/FPS-124, AN/FPS-117, AN/FPS-93, and others. Sources should include any information on the unit's specific operational requirements, hardware, software environment, link requirements, baud rates, message types (e.g., CDII), message formats. Any existing RMA data is requested. Commercial and/or military standards met by the device should be included. Currently, the R/SOCC's interface with 27-35 radar. This requirement is expected to significantly increase. Sources should include maximum capacities for number of radar the unit can interface simultaneously. Please provide current model and or version number and briefly describe customer base. In addition to the above information, request sources provided: Name of point of contact, address, phone number, and FAX number. This information should be received within 10 days of the publication date of this notice. All timely received information will be considered. This Request for Information does not obligate nor commit HQ ESC to any specific course of action. The ESC Ombudsman for acquisition is Colonel Claude E. Messamore at (617) 377-5106.
