Description

SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston is soliciting information from potential sources for Engineering support services for Extremely Low Frequency (ELF), Fixed Very Low Frequency (FVLF), and Low Frequency (LF) transmitter stations and antennas for Submarine Broadcast Stations. The ELF/FVLF/LF transmitting stations provide the primary broadcast communications link for the command and control of SSBN and SSN submarines. Those stations were designed and constructed at various times over the past five decades. Consequently, each is unique and all are subject to problems peculiar to particular stations requiring the employment of consultants well versed in highly specialized areas of ELF/FVLF/LF transmitter, antenna, and antenna network theoretical and applications engineering. Required capabilities include the following: (1) Perform on-call problem analysis of the ELF/FVLF/LF equipment at H.E.

(2) When parts are unavailable, substitute parts are to be built in order that the ELF/FVLF/LF systems will operate safely at optimum standards. (3) Design, develop, fabricate, install, and test modifications to correct or eliminate recurring failures or deficiencies in the ELF/FVLF/LF transmitting equipment or systems. (4) Review ELF/FVLF/LF transmitting systems, sub-systems and components to determine obsolete/unsupportable components and recommend supportable replacements for these components or develop procurement specifications for replacement components. (5) Design, develop, fabricate, install, and test prototype equipment necessary for proving concepts or evaluating possible changes to the ELF/FVLF/LF transmitting systems. This notice is for planning purposes only.
