A -- MARKET SURVEY FOR GUARDRAIL COMMON SENSOR (GR/CS) SYSTEMS DUE 022500 POC Jackie Weeks, (732) 427-1324 E-MAIL: click here to contact the POC, weeksj@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. NOTE: THIS IS A MARKET SURVEY ONLY. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS OR INVITATION FOR BIDS. Project Manager, Signals Warfare, is conducting a Market Survey to identify companies with the capability of implementing modifications to Guardrail Common Sensor (GR/CS) Aircraft Systems 3, 4, and 1 to upgrade these systems to the GR/CS System 2 airborne configuration. Modifications may include replacement of current Advanced Quick Look (AQL) airborne processor hardware (HW) and software (SW); retrofit GR/CS Systems 3, 4 and 1 ELINT antenna pods to GR/CS System 2 configuration; redesign and replace existing legacy GR/CS ground processing audio subsystem. redesign and code existing legacy ground processing Main System Computer (MSC) and ELINT System Computer (ESC) SW; conduct systems engineering, detailed design and design integration for modifications and upgrades to existing GR/CS ground and airborne systems. All replacement hardware and software using commercial products must meet the Department of Defense (DOD Joint Tactical Architecture and Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) requirements. A more detailed description of these tasks will be posted to the CECOM Business Opportunity Page (BOP) Website at http://abop.monmouth.army.mil/busopor.nsf. Technical Point of Contact is Mr. Mark Due (732) 427-2190. Correspondence which prospective offerors would like to submit may be addressed to weeksj@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. Potential offerors are requested to provide responses not later than 25 February 2000. The following are detailed tasks: 1. Implement modifications to Guardrail Common Sensor (GR/CS) Systems 3,4, & 1 aircraft system configurations to upgrade them to GR/CS System 2 airborne configuration. Modifications may include replacement of current Advanced Quick Look (AQL) airborne processor hardware (HW) and software (SW). This modification will include integration of SIGINT Interface Processor (SIP) SIGINT Performance Subsystem (SPS) SW from GR/CS System2 to perform AQL ELINT functions. Replacement HW and SW must use commercial products which meet the Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) and Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) requirements. 2. Retrofit GR/CS Systems 3,4 &1 ELINT antenna pods to GR/CS System 2 configuration. Conduct necessary modifications to the legacy physical antenna pod configurations. Initiate necessary integration efforts to allow for minimal degradation of legacy COMINT due to the differences between GR/CS System 2 airborne and legacy GR/CS system configurations. Upgrade legacy ground processing SW and HW of legacy GR/CS systems to meet GR/CS System 2 XQUEST functionality. Replacement HW and SW must use commercial products which meet the Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) and Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) requirements. 3. Redesign and replace existing legacy GR/CS ground processing audio subsystem. Redesigned audio subsystem must meet the current GR/CS requirements as well as incorporate new commercial audio, recording and storage technologies. Redesigned SW and HW must be installed in the existing ground processing HW. Replacement HW and SW must use commercial products which meet the Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) and Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) requirements. 4. Redesign and code existing legacy ground processing Main System Computer (MSC) and ELINT System Computer (ESC) SW. Redesigned MSC and ESC subsystems must transfer all of the functionality of the existing GR/CS Systems 3, 4, 1 & 2 into upgraded SW subsystems. Redesigned SW must be installed in the existing ground processing HW. Replacement SW must use commercial products which meet the Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) and Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) requirements. 5. Conduct Systems Engineering, detailed design, and design integration for modifications and upgrades to existing GR/CS ground and airborne systems. Utilized core knowledge of legacy GR/CS systems to redesign for optimal implementation of improvements to the GR/CS fleet. Follow Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) and Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) requirements. Posted 01/28/00 (W-SN419890). (0028)
