58 -- CMES COTS ITEMS POC Dave PAK, (732)427-5759; Louise Huntley, (732) 427-7101 The U.S. Army the Program Manager Signals Warfare (PM SW) is seeking qualified and interested sources to provide commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, independent technical analysis and engineering support in the area of the Common Modular ELINT System (CMES). CMES provides search, intercept, Direction Finding (DF), precision location and analysis of the primary non-communication (radar) battlefield threat emitters. CMES enhances the Division or CORPS Commander's ability to identify High Value Targets (HVTs) such as enemy counter/mortar, counter/battery, ground surveillance radars at critical points in the battle and will provide precise emitter locations with targeting accuracy. CMES employs time difference of arrival (TDOA) techniques in order to provide the precision location, and is composed of an antenna assembly along with pedestal control circuits, a tuner, and a signal processor. The interested party must be able to demonstrate a capability of providing production hardware, and performing engineering support for upgrades, improvements and repairs along with associated testing. Technical support includes hardware and software modifications and updates against the existing baseline, and to correct problems encountered during integration and testing of those modifications. Test support includes field or flight tests related to the software or hardware modifications, or related to technical demonstrations where accurate geolocation is required for a system solution. In addition, the interested party shall install the required equipment into a specified vehicle, provide air worthiness qualification data, and support collection of data, if required. Qualified and interested sources must also be able to provide a qualified field service representative (FSR) to support CMES in the field or when provided as GFE to another contractor and to provide technical assistance from equipment check-out through equipment repair/refurbishment. As CMES was purchased as a COTS item, the Government neither possesses acompetitive technical data package, nor owns the primary processing software. The Government licenses that software. Interested parties must provide evidence of specialized experience with ELINT and TDOA techniques. Interested parties must be capable of providing COTS hardware form, fit and function compatible with the current CMES; and of repairing existing items, collecting performance data, compiling results, comparing performance with system specifications and analyzing test results, and procuring software licenses from various vendors as required. This is not a request for proposal. Interested parties should contact PM Signals Warfare, ATTN: SFAE-IEW&S-SG (Dave Pak/Louise Huntley), Bldg 288, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703 not later than July 30, 1999 with evidence of the above qualifications in sufficient details.
