reach POC, martin_f@crane.navy.mil. The Crane Division, Naval Surface
Warfare Center is seeking prospective sources to provide an X band 1X
64 linear scanning array antenna. Technical requirements are described
in the attached draft specification 86 SPC 00 3013. It is anticipated
that one 1 X 64 array will be required initially and then an 16 X 64
array will be required at about October of 2002. The 16 X 64 array
should be an expanded version of the 1 X 64 array. The array is to be
used in a laboratory for proof of concept experiments in optical
beamforming. Potential sources must provide a budgetary estimate
(closing date for submission of response is COB 16 May 2000) for the
manufacture of one fully functional specification compliant antenna. A
trade study shall be conducted which discusses and contrasts; a. the
types of radiating elements which might be selected for the array, b.
radiating and passive element location/distribution, and the RF
performance requirements of the attached specification, especially
paragraphs 3.22, 3.2.9, and 3.2.10. Multiple responses from a single
source are allowed. Teaming among sources is allowed. Responses shall
be limited to 30 pages for the technical portion. Technical information
shall include past history of similar designs where available. The
source shall provide an update to the preliminary specification, at
website listed below, where the source predicts that his design will
improve upon the RF performance requirements. Design calculations shall
be supported with applicable and relevant test data where possible.
Alternate test procedures, if any, shall be discussed. Test data shall
include electrical performance and pattern data. The relevancy of
design calculations or data shall be stated if not clearly discernable
from its context. Antenna performance or test procedures, including
detailed measurement procedures for the test requirements of the
attached preliminary specification, are encouraged and may be included
in the source's response and will not be counted against the 30 page
technical portion limit. Please do not furnish data which is irrelevant
or that is not applicable to this specifications' requirements. THIS
REQUEST IS MADE FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY, AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED
AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT NOR WILL THE GOVERNMENT PAY FOR
