58 -- DIGITAL MODULAR RADIO POC Dave Bodner, 02-32, 703-602-0694. Synopsis No. 3. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Joint Maritime Communications Strategy (JMCOMS) Program Office, PMW 176, is seeking potential sources to supply the Navy and joint forces with commercial off-the shelf, non-developmental equipment (i.e. open architecture) for a multi-channel, multi-mode, multi-band full duplex programmable Digital Modular Radio (DMR). The DMR functions shall be software re-configurable, modular in design, and scaleable to meet various platform circuit requirements. The DMR shall be configurable to operate in the 100 KHz to 2 GHz frequency range for the desired functionality listed below. It is envisioned the DMR will experience fleet wide implementation to satisfy shore, shipboard, and aircraft communication requirements. The DMR shall perform simultaneous multi-channel, multi-mode, multi-band operations utilizing a common receiver/exciter module with functionality implemented by software. The desired functionalities are listed below. The DMR shall provide full duplex RF interface per receiver/exciter. The intent of the DMR is to be operable with all legacy systems in the defined frequency range, shall support embedded communications security requirements, provide analog/digital interfaces, operate from a single local point of control, be easily maintainable, have low life cycle costs, and have growth capabilities to meet future needs through software upgrades. The DMR's power requirements shall be compatible with existing shipboard, shore, airborne, and mobile applications. The DMR shall also be remotely controllable using a computer workstation. Information is also requested in the area of power amplifiers (2 MHz to 2 GHz), RF distribution systems, and antenna systems. Power amplifiers and RF Distribution systems that are capable of covering multiple frequency spectrums are desired. Ideally, PMW176 is interested in a DMR system which will provide all listed functionality. Any offeror who can provide two or more functions, in the same system, which meet the above characteristics should, at a minimum, submit the following information: System description and performance specification which addresses the desired functions, upgrade path, production rates, length of time product has been on the market, quantities produced to date, supporting technical documentation, warranty information, test reports/supporting data, logistic infrastructure, performance/reliability data, and the appropriate company points of contact. In addition, submission of non-binding pricing information (e.g. catalog pricing) is encouraged. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 3669. Interested parties must indicate whether they are small business, large business, or small disadvantaged, 8(a). This is not an RFP, a promise to issue an RFP, nor will the government pay for information received in response to this synopsis. Acknowledgment of receipt will not be made nor will telephone inquiries be honored. Responses to this synopsis must be received by 1600 EST on 11/22/96 in writing and delivered via mail to the following address: Commander, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, 2451 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22241, Attn: David Bodner, Code 02-32 and must reference Synopsis Number 3 on both the enclosure(s) and mailing envelope. Desired Equipment Function/Waveform, UHF LOS/SATCOM IAW MIL-STD-188-181/182/183/185, Digital Wideband Transmission System (DWTS), High Frequency (Modems/Receivers/Exciters), Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) High Speed Fleet Broadcast (HSFB), AN/GRC-211, Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT), Low Frequency/Medium Frequency Receivers, Maritime Communication Information Exchange System (MCIXS) (0305)
