58 -- INITIAL INTENT TO PROCURE PROPHET AIR/CONTROL SYSTEMS AT A FUTURE DATE POC Michael Neeb, Contract Specialist, 732-427-1338 WEB: U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), http://www.monmouth.army.mil/cecom/ac/ac.html. E-MAIL: Clikc here to contact the Contract Specialist, neeb@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. The CECOM Acquisition Center intends to procure Prophet Air/Control systems. The system's primary mission will be to electronically map Radio Frequency emmitters on the battlefield from 20 MHz (High Frequency/HF) to 2000MHz (Super High Frequency/SHF). Electronic mapping is defined as detecting, identifying, locating and monitoring RF emitters and the graphical depiction of these emitters to allow for nodal analysis and correlation with other intelligence feeds at the Analysis and Control Elements's (ACE) SIGINT section. Prophet Control (PC) will be the heart of the system. It is the forward, collateral SIGINT analysis element organic to the division and ACR. It will remotely control the receivers on the Prophet Air platforms, task the Prophet Ground sensors, and will preprocess the locational data. The PC will transmit and receive formatted reports to and from the Analysis and Control Element (ACE) and the Analysis and Control Teams (ACT) as well as provide a Near-Real-Time graphical display (Electronic Target Indicator {ETI} Dynamic Overlays) of collected information. The systems will also have the capability to precisely locate selected emitters and conduct Electronic Attack (EA) of selected nodes. It is anticipated that a demonstration of candidate ESM subsystem solutions will be conducted in Aug/Sep 1999. The demonstration will be used to evaluate performance in regard to supporting electronic mapping. Offerors with subsystems that do not pass the demonstration will be excluded from further consideration. Interested parties are requested to furnish the following information: 1) company name, 2) address, 3) POC name, phone, FAX, 4) state if interest is as a prime or subcontractor, 5) state if interest and company name and POC information may be provided to other interested parties. Answer to item 5 is requested to facilitate teaming or subcontracting opportunities. A draft copy of the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) as well as a draft copy of the Statement of Objectives (SOO) will be available via the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Acquisition Center's Business Opportunities Page. The internet address for the site is http://www.monmouth.army.mil/cecom/ac/ac.html. The information will be made available by February 26, 1999. This is not a solicitation and no contract award will be issued from this announcement. All questions should be should be directed in writing to the Contracting Officer's attention at U.S. Army CECOM ATTN: AMSEL-AC-CC-C-CM Robert Calaway, Contracting Officer Ft.
