58 -- NATO: RESTORE ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE MEASURES TARGET SYSTEMS FOR NATO FORACS SOL NODECA IFB No. 3/98 DUE 081998 POC Alexis Kemper (202-482-1512) The Norwegian Defense Communications and Data Services Administration (NODECA) is acting as procurement agency on behalf of the governments of Greece and Norway for a joint procurement of the following projects included in the NATO Security Investment Program. The ESM Target Systems at the FORACS ranges are used to check the bearing accuracy of radar intercept receivers as well as the capability of these receivers to identify radar emission based on their signal characteristics. The ESM Target System must, therefore, be able to generate simulated radar transmissions over a wide frequency range, with realistic pulse characteristics, etc. The existing ESM Target Systems were procured in 1987/88, and the major items in the system were: a. Tactical Simulator System (TASS), driven by a DEC PDP 11 computer b. 1 kW RF amplifier system, covering the frequency range 1-18 GHz c. Antenna azimuth drive and control system d. Steerable antenna array with four 4-foot parabolic reflectors and pedestal e. Radome, 4m diameter f. Radome foundation building Of these subsystems, only the electrical parts, items a, b and c above, needs replacement. The frequency range shall be 2-18 GHz. The contractor shall use "Commercial Off the Shelf" equipment where it is possible. Bid shall include an option for a similiar project for a third NATO FORACS facility. All applicants must be certified to compete NATO ICB by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Telecommunications.
