58 -- NAVSTAR GPS SATELLITE CONSTELLATION SIMULATOR SOL N66001-97-R-0063 POC Contract Specialist, Ms. Jennifer Townsend, Code D213, (619)553-5199. Contracting Officer, Ms. Charmaine Joworski, (619)553-4536. POC for copy, Mr. J.C. Norris, (619)553-4331. The Naval Command, Control and Ocean Surveillance Center Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Division (NRaD) intends to negotiate a firm fixed price, sole source contract in accordance with FAR Part 12 with Interstate Electronics Corporation of Anaheim, CA for the following commercial off-the-shelf item: * Model SCS 2400 NAVSTAR GPS Satellite Constellation Simulator which combines the differential capability, Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), Local Area Augmentation (LAAS) capability, Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM), attitude determination capability, 24 Satellite vehicles to be able to combine the GPS, WAAS, LAAS, RAIM signals, and be SA-AS capable on both LI/L2 GPS frequencies. This system will allow for complete simulation of all possible satellite combinations in a classified and unclassified constellation. It will include the capability to test differential GPS receivers, all-in-view GPS receivers and it will have the capability to test very precise carrier phase GPS receivers. It will include software drivers to allow for existing NRaD derived simulation software to externally drive the simulator. The system will be fully configured and factory integrated. The above item must be able to interface with the existing systems at NRaD. The simulator must be capable of generating very precise carrier/code phase signals, 24 full L1/L2 GPS Y-code signals, combination L1/L2 GPS/GLONASS signals, WAAS, LAAS, RAIM capability, attitude determination to the centimeter range, update rates of at least 100 Hz with fully deselectable down to 10 Hz for existing projects at NRaD. The NRaD GPST system consists of a Stanford Telecommunication 5 Channel Satellite Simulator and a Computing Applications Software Technology (CAST) computer system. The solicitation document will be issued approximately on 17 June 1997. For copies of the solicitation, only written requests will be honored. Facsimile letters are acceptable at (619)553-6976.
