Contract line items are as follows: 0001 Independent Collection Equipment (ICE) Tactical Manpack Direction Finding (DF) System, consisting of: 2 ea. 0001AA Receiver/DF Processor 2 ea. 0001AB DF Antenna 2 ea. 0001AC Hand-held Controller 2 ea. 0001AD Tripod 2 ea. 0001AE Headset 2 ea. 0001AF Compass 2 ea. 0001AG Notebook Controller Software (Set) 2 ea. The following are requirements that must be met for the requested DF equipment: DF Receiver: Should weigh no more than 15 pounds ..Must allow netting of receivers with existing Watkins-Johnson 8900 DF systems to obtain improved lines of bearing ..Frequency range of 20 to 2000 MHz, with tuning allowed to 5 MHz, 100 MHz synthesized tuning resolution ..Internal Reference Accuracy +/- 1 part in 10-6 (0 to 50 degrees C) ..Noise figure 12 dB, typical; 15dB max .. Sensitivity (10uV/m ..Power Consumption (15W ..Power source 11 to 36 Vdc with battery life )4 hours for mobile use, AC to DC converter for fixed operations ..Dynamic range 110 dB Antenna System .. Must weigh no more than 15 pounds ..Must be adaptable for vehicle, mast, and covert ground mounting ..Must operate in the 20 to 2000 MHz frequency band with typical directional gains in the -37 to +8 dBi range ..Must achieve DF sensitivities between 20 uV/m and 0.5 uV/m over the operational range DF Accessories ..The unit must be controlled by a laptop or notebook computer connected via a RS-232 serial communications (COM) port. ..The software must be compatible with any IBM-type personal computer operating with Windows 3.1 or later. ..The software must display a graphical window for displaying the line of bearing (LOB) data. The unit needs to be switchable to a Single LOB or Continuous LOB. Software needs to provide a display of angle of arrival and signal strength in a polar form and a spectral representation of the received signal with respect to signal strength. ..The software needs to provide an automatic mode of operation that allows a search of a portion of the RF spectrum for signal activity. The operator needs to be able to specify start and stop frequencies with a step increment to define sweep characteristics. ..The software must be able to control the DF receiver in respect to how long the processor waits at a frequency for signal activity, how long the processor remains tuned to an active signal before continuing the scan, and how long the processor remains at a frequency after an active signal has been lost to wait for renewed signal activity. ..DF processors must be able to be remotely located and controlled via the laptop/notebook computer and software utilizing standard military transmitters and receivers connected directly to the processor. The software must be able to collect the data from the remote processors and determine a line of bearing.
