B -- REQUIREMENTS: (1) Technical Description: The Sensors Directorate intends to award one Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to develop Radio Frequency (RF) technology domains for the RF Technology Division (AFRL/SNR). The purpose of this effort is to develop, test, simulate and analyze antenna, receiver and signal processing concepts. The research also includes definition of signal sets and requirements to meet certain performance goals. Hardware and software developed by other agencies may be tested and evaluated under this effort. Applications will involve integration of developmental hardware and software on various aircraft and spacecraft. Other duties will require the operation of Air Force laboratory test facilities and field testing. (2) Five problem statements have been identified as candidate delivery orders for the Aperture and Receivers Development Lab: 01 Receivers, 02 Aperture Development, 03 Signal Processing, 04 Electronic Countermeasures, 05 Network, Computer and Equipment Maintenance. Only offerors who submit proposals for all five candidate delivery orders will be eligible, should the Air Force make only one award. The initial increment of funding will comprise the minimum amount for this PRDA. The Air Force reserves the right to award the other candidate delivery orders, either by adding to the single delivery order contract or by issuing separate contracts, should additional funds become available. The problem statement for each candidate delivery order is included in the Supplemental Package for this PRDA.
