58 -- HCLOS/SRWBR MARKET SURVEY SOL DAAB0797-R-F533 DUE 022897 POC CPT Frank Steinbugl, Contract Specialist, (908) 532-4991, Kenneth L. Tedeschi, Contracting Officer, (908) 532-4991, Mr. Kenneth Chaney, (908) 532-3525, PM JTACS. E-MAIL: CECOM Acquisition Center, steinbug@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. The Project Manager, Joint Tactical Area Communications Systems (PM JTACS) is seeking sources, availability, and estimated cost information regarding solutions for tactical Line-of-Sight (LOS) radio systems for use with tactical switching systems to be procured under the U.S. Army, Area Common User System -- Modernization Plan (ACUS-MP). The High Capacity Line-of-Sight (HCLOS) and Short Range Wide Band Radio (SRWBR) systems, components of the ACUS MP, are of particular interest in this Market Survey. These radio systems shall include: radios, antennas, cabling, antenna masts and shall be addressed by the vendor as a complete system. As part of this market survey, PM JTACS is releasing a draft technical requirements document to industry. Industry comment is encouraged. Applicable comments and suggestions may be incorporated into the final technical requirements specification to be used in the acquisition process. The responses must include equipment name, physical specifications, performance characteristics, estimated lead time from contract award to availability for transportation and estimated cost and performance characteristics. Submission of an 8"x10" picture or line drawing is encouraged. Additionally, if not already included in the performance characteristics, the vendor must provide the following technical data: Radio Link Budget calculations with detailed Gain/Loss of each of the system components: Implementation Loss in dB; Frequency Range; Modulation Type; Type of Coding and Coding Gain (if applicable);Equalization Data (if applicable); Transmitter Power Output; Cable Loss in dB; Transmit Spectrum Bandwidth in MHz between -- 3 dB, -20 dB, and -60 dB points for each data rate; Transmit Spectrum in MHz containing 99% of energy for each data rate; Receiver Bandwidth; Radio Receiver Threshold and Theoretical SNR in dB for 1X10-5 BER; Receiver Noise Figure; Receiver Bandwidth in MHz for the -3 dB, -20 dB, and -60 dB points for each data rate; Antenna System 3 dB beamwidth, Radiation Pattern and Gain; and Antenna Mast System. The draft technical requirements document for the HCLOS and SRWBR systems may be obtained from the CECOM Electronic Bulletin Board System, or from PM JTACS at (908) 532-3525. Submit responses in writing to PEO C3S, PM JTACS, ATTN: SFAE-C3S-JTC-ITI, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey 07703. The deadline for responses to this notice is 28 February 1997. (0017)
