Description

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) proposes to acquire a radar system, with various options, for a Government Test Range (AUTEC) at Andros island, Bahamas. The core requirement is for an in-air tracking system which uses Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components to the maximum extend possible, and includes the following capabilities: ability to track targets from five feet to one thousand feet; accurately track a minimum of six (6) simultaneous surface and air targets; track dynamic targets, both along and across the line of sight, with speed above 0 and below 90 knots below 400 feet; and speed above 0 and below 250 knots at 400-1000 feet, and acceleration below 14 m/sec/sec, mid-range; update each target location at least once every two seconds; residual systematic plus random errors less than 25 meters Circular Standard Error (two-dimensional, no altitude) over the full coverage area. All exterior equipment must be designed for survivability in an environment similar to AUTEC's (operating temperature 0 to +55 degrees Centigrade; non-operating temperature of -10 to +70 degrees Centigrade; humidity 0 to 95%, non-condensing; operating wind to 80 knots; non-operating wind to 150 knots). Core requirement includes contractor installation and integration at the AUTEC, Bahamas site (contractor is responsible for all site preparation and construction that is part of its system design, including installing pads or pylons for towers; erecting towers; trenching coral (on land only) and installing cables, and back-filling. Options include: 1) In-air tracking system enhancement, including extending area of coverage by 25% and providing the operation with the ability to display positional information on a particular target as clearly distinct from those of the other tracked targets (also includes any critical spare parts associated with the enhancement); 2) life cycle preventive and corrective maintenance support for the core, In-air tracking system (for a minimum five year period); 3) life cycle preventive and corrective maintenance support for the enhanced, In-air tracking system (for a minimum five year period); 4) critical spare parts for the core, in-air tracking system; 5) in-air tracking system protective covers; 6) in-air tracking/range control integration support services for maximum 500 hrs. (to begin one year after successful system installation- includes both telephone and at-site consultation); 7) In-Air surveillance (sub)system which maximizes the use of COTS components, and includes the following capabilities: detecting and reporting air targets from 500 to 10,000 feet, and a minimum of 50 targets simultaneously; detecting and reporting air targets within a radius of 60 nmi. from AUTEC site #2 coordinates (under nominal conditions), and with a minimum Radar Cross Section of 2 square meters; residual systematic plus random errors for the function shall be less than 150 meters Circular Standard Error (two dimensional, no altitude) over the full coverage area; target position updating at least once every 5 seconds; 8) life cycle preventive and corrective maintenance support for the in-air surveillance subsystem (for a minimum five year period); 9) critical spare parts for the in-air surveillance subsystem; 10) in-air surveillance subsystem protective covers; and, 11) in-air surveillance/range control integration support services for maximum 250 hrs. (to begin one year after successful surveillance subsystem installation- includes both telephone and at-site consultation). Anticipated contract type: Firm Fixed Price. Evaluation Scheme: Best Value, with technical considerations including: Technical Approach (system design; implementation approach; supportability); Past Performance; and, Management. Delivery requirements: core, in-air tracking system within 18 months of award; if options exercised, enhanced in-air tracking capability within 12 months of exercise; in-air surveillance subsystem within twenty months of contract award. Solicited on an Unrestricted basis. A site visit to AUTEC, Andros Island is tentatively planned for the week of 15 JAN 2001, but restrictions apply as to number of attendees, etc. (see Section L of solicitation for details) and pre-approval is mandatory. NAICS Code: 334511
