59 -- DEVELOP HIGH POWER, SOLID-STATE KA-BAND IMPATT TRANSMITTER AMPLIFIER SOL N68936-99-R-0099 DUE 060799 POC Linda Long, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-4232 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to procure on an other than full and open competition basis from Raytheon Systems Company the development of a high power, compact, solid-state Ka-band IMPATT transmitter amplifier. The amplifier shall be capable of delivering 1000 watts of pulsed RF power to the external load at the specified frequency in Ka-band. The main emphasis is to double the output power of the state-of-the-art amplifiers while still retaining the volume and weight constraints of the Ka-band amplifiers. Development of the amplifier will rely on and utilize the device, circuit and IMPATT power amplifier component technologies developed for the Navy under previous and existing contracts. Since certain of the performance specifications are classified they will be provided under separate security classification specification, DD-254. Deliverables include: IMPATT Diodes provided in Lots of 16, 16 and 24; a Diode Test Oscillator, two each Output Stage 8-Diode PowerCombiners; one each High Power Ka-Band IMPATT Transmitter, 4 each of 1-Diode, 2-Diode, 4-Diode and 8-Diode IMPATT Modules, 1 Lot of Combiner Design Drawings; 1 Lot of Four-Channel Hybrid-IC Biasing Modulator Electrical Design Drawing, 1 Lot of Color Photographs, and Reports. The period of performance is 16 months from award. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. Interested sources, other than Raytheon, must respond in accordance with Note 22 of the Commerce Business Daily. See Note(s): 22, 26. Posted 04/05/99 (I-SN316407). (0095)
