HIGGINS-1@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. PM TRCS/EPLRS PROGRAM This is a
Market Survey for the acquisition of up to 3,142 Enhanced Position
Location Reporting System (EPLRS) Receiver Transmitter (RT) to support
US Army fielding requirements. There is a potential for out year
option awards for other services with quantities to be determined. At
present, Raytheon Systems Company, Fullerton California, is the sole
producer of the RT. Government retains configuration control of the RS
on a performance basis. Therefore, detailed technical data is not
available. This is the final procurement of this commodity.
Description: The Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS)
provides the Army with the ability to enhance Command, Control and
Communications (C3) capabilities by supporting requirements for
battlefield data distribution, position location, navigation, reporting
and friendly identification. EPLRS provides battlefield commanders with
a near real-time, jam resistant, secure data communications capability
to support data subscribers of the Army Tactical Command and Control
System (ATCCS). Future weapons systems identified under the five
Battlefield Functional Areas are employing EPLRS to perform to their
required capabilities. EPLRS is primarily intended for deployment with
the corps, division and brigade to meet data distribution
communication needs of these units. Separate brigades and armored
cavalry regiments, or elements thereof, will also use EPLRS. EPLRS
consists of a Net Control Station (NCS) that estblishes and controls a
jam-resistant, secure network of individual RTs utilizing a
time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) architecture. Transmissions
between the NCS and the RTs, as well as between the RTs themselves, are
accomplished by assigning each RT in the net time slots during which it
can transmit while other members receive. The time of arrival
transmissions are processed by the NCS to provide the EPLRS position,
navigation and identification services. EPLRS provides X.25 and
MIL-STD-1553B interfaces for Army tactical data systems, routing
devices such as the Internet Controller (INC), providing access to the
EPLRS services and communications capabilities. The EPLRS RT can be
utilized in a manpack, vehicular or airborne configuration. The power
source for the manpack configuration is a battery pack which holds (2)
two BA5590 lithium batteries, while the vehicle and airborne
configurations draw power from customized power adapters. The RT shall
operate from an input voltage range of +18.5 to +32 VDC. Because of
the embedded COMSEC in the RS, a respondent must have a secret
clearance, a required COMSEC briefing, and the ability to access COMSEC
information. Responses are requested four (4) weeks after the CBD
publication date. POC is Garry Vittorini, &#@-427-4200. US Army CECOM,
