58 -- AN/APR-39A(V)2 RADAR SIGNAL DETECTING SET DUE 120499 POC PCO-Linda M.McGarry(732)427-1398 or Contr Spec. Bette Stricker(732)427-1397 E-MAIL: mcgarry@mail1.monmouth.army.mil, stricker@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. CECOM, Fort Monmouth is conducting a formal market survey to establish potential sources for procurement of technical support services for the AN/APR-39A(V)2 Radar Signal Detecting Set (RSDS) which was developed by Litton Applied Technologies Division (LATD) of San Joses, CA. The RSDS is a radar waring receiver system which is capable of identifying different types of threats;assessing those threats for degree of severity and communicating that information to the pilot. The RSDS is currently being revised via Government Directed Engineering Change Proposals (ECP's)to provide the system with a Communication Interface Processor (CIP) MIL-STD-1553B capability utilized in the AH-1Z/UH-1Y and a modification of the software interface between the APR-39A and the AAR-47 Missile Warning System (MWS) respectively. The non-recurring engineering, aircraft integration and joint contractor/government testing for these efforts is scheduled for a two-year period of performance. Upon completion of these ECPs, the technical data package including data rights for the CIP/AAR-47 Interface Software ECPs will be integrated and introduced into production baseline and suitable for competition in SEPT 02. The Government plans to extend the basic current contract with LATD for a period of 26 months to ensure that all configuration control documention is accepted/delivered to the Government to allow for full and open competition.In addition to the contract extension, a Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) will be added to the basic contract to facilitate system fielding and support of Follow-on Test and Evaluation (FOT&E). Services required include but are not limited to field service technical support, repair, training, threat analysis, software reprogramming, system trade studies, and systems integration. Interested sources shall be capable of providing the technical personnel and materials, test equipment, and software/threat analysis facilities to manufacture and test low quantities of AN/APR-39A(V)2 with the CIP upgrade, repair, modify or integrate/interface the AN/APR-39A(V)2 with other onboard aircraft systems and perform threat analysis/trade studies for the AN/APR-39A(V)2 system.
