E-MAIL: Click Here to E-mail Buyer*****, Doug.Day@hill.Af.Mil. This is an advanced synopsis. The Government intends to establish a sole source Firm Fixed Price,requirements type contract with Lockheed Martin Ocean, Radar & Sensor Systems in Syracuse, NY. It will be to manufacture, test, certify, and integrate thirty-four monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar Systems (MSSR) processors and interrogators as well as twenty-eight compatible IFF antennas into the USAF's AN/FPS-117 (V) Radars. The MSSR must comply with the United States Federal Aviation Agency ATCBI-6 Beacon and USAF Mission specification and requirements. The MSSR must be dual channel automatic reconfigurable and remote controllable, must be United States Military Mode 4 capable, and form, fit, and function upgradeable to United States Military Mode 5. The MSSR must not interfere with nor be vulnerable to interference from the AN/FPS-117 nor shall the MSSR adversely affect, impact, nor degrade any existing capabilities of the baseline AN/FPS-117 under Contract Number F19628-82-C-0049 and as modified by Contract Numbers F19628-85-C-0033, F19628-87-C-0116, F09603-87-G-1351-SM65, F19628-88-C0197, F04606-92-D-0490, F04606-93-C-0050, and F19628-95-D-0016. The new MSSR antennas must be mounted to the existing AN/FPS-117 array structure without modification to that structure, and must fit within the existing radomes (CW-396A) without modification. Due to the reduced site manning conditions in place on the AN/FPS-117 Radar sites the MTBF, MTBCF, and MTTR of the remote radar site must not be adversely affected by the offered MSSR. The MSSR must provide remote control of the backup channel switching, transfer of MFI messages to a remote centralized location, provide for troubleshooting from this remote centralized location, and must be fully integrated into the existing remote control message stream and MMI of the baseline AN/FPS-117 Radar Systems. The MSSR software must be compatible with and must not adversely affect the software performance, functionality, and MTBCF o the software operating within the AN/FPS-117 Radar Systems as modified by Contract F19628-95-D-0016. Additionally due to an aggressive schedule required to support operational requirements, a proven record ofaccomplishment of multiple MSSR integrations with the 117 radar system is required. The required technical documentation to support this modification is either lacking, incomplete, insufficient, or absent from the US Government inventory. The US Government does not posses the technical data or specifications. Contract Award Aproximately Aug 2000. Delivery Orders for a four-year period.
