58 -- INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC WARFARE (IEW) DUE 022897 POC Point of Contact -- Ruby L. Wright, Contract Specialist, 908-532-2364. Contracting Officer -- Mary P. Kofron, 908-532-2365. E-MAIL: IEW Systems Suite Requirements, wrightr@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. This is a source sought market survey synopsis seeking vendors for FMS IEW Systems Suite requirement. The purpose of this synopsis is to determine whether there are sources capable of meeting the Government's requirements as described below. This announcement is to assess interest only. Brochures and catalogs showing the capabilities of your equipment, and delivery lead time are requested. The requirement is as follows: Commercial off The Shelf Non Developmental Item, (COTS/NDI) equipment providing modern EW capabilities which counter tactical single channel, commend and control (C2)communications systems which employ low probability of intercept (LPI), frequency agility and other special anti-jam techniques to improve battlefield survivability. Specifically the need to be able to counter threat frequency hopping (FH), automatic link establishment (ALE) and frequency agile HF/VHF/UHF radios. The desired EW systems must be able to detect short duration, pseudo-random signal pulses, type classify or identify the intercepted signal, locate the transmitter on the battlefield and where possible, reconstruct the original transmitted message. 1. Specific capabilities include: Narrowband search, acquisition, and DF(HF through UHF; Automatic recognition and demod for bauded signals; Hand-off capability to operator for monitoring/gisting); Scanning search, acquisition and DF (Fast returnable 10 Mhz receiver; Programmable Spectral Resolution; Coverage up to 1 Ghz within 20-2000 Mhz; Analog drop receiver pairs for recognition/DF); Staring Search, acquisition and DF (Dedicated wideband receiver for search 10 Mhz channel; Detection algorithm to choose best SOI candidates; Signal Onset availability to maximize averaging time and eliminate co-channel interference); FH search, acquisition and DF (talkable versus generic FH radios; wide RF range search mode to find FH signal; capable signals as fast as 600 hops/second; capable versus signals as fast as 2400 hops pre second in VHF/UHF); and DF and demodulation of acquired signals. 2. 3 ea HF/VHF/UHF mobile intercept/DF systems capable of detecting, type classifying, or identifying, locating, and copying threat HF/VHF/UHF frequency hopping radios. 1 ea system will serve as a net control for DF operations. 3. 2 ea HF/VHF/UHF (up to 500 Mhz) mobile jamming systems capable of degrading or denying threat HF/VHF/UHF frequency hopping, HF automatic link establishment (ALE) and HF frequency agile radio communications. 4. 1 ea HF skyway intercept and single-location (SSL) system capable of identifying locating and copying threat HF automatic link establishment (ALE) and HF frequency agile radios. Interested sources should provide supporting documentation to: Commander, US Army CECOM, Strategic Communications & SA Br, AMSEL-AC-CB-D(WRI), Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey 07703-5008. (0037)
