K -- MODIFICATION OF A L-88A RADAR SOL NA DUE 060298 POC Vicki Wilkinson, Contract Manager, 757-764-4786 or Richard Cannella, Contracting Officer, 757-764-7583 E-MAIL: ACC CONS Langley AFB, Vicki.wilkinson@langley.af.mil. The Air Force is conducting market research to find a source to replace the AN/DPS-5 radar system located at Cudjoe Key FL with a L-88A radar and a TPS-63 antenna. The current L-88A radar and TPS-63 antenna are too heavy and too large to be accommodated within the design parameters of a 275K aerostat and its' windscreen and still maintain the area of surveillance coverage. The proposed system must be modified to operate within the 275K aerostat design parameters and not alter the airborne characteristics of the aerostat. The modified system cannot exceed a weight of 1,400 pounds, must meet or exceed the capabilities of an AN/DPS-5 radar system, and the modified system must flawlessly interface with the current ground station and support equipment currently located at Cudjoe Key FL. The modified system must be ready and available for final testing no later than 31 March 1999. (0112)
