Objective
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is searching for potential sources capable of supplying a commercial off-the-shelf fully operational transportable antenna tracking system to support the Coalition Tactical Awareness and Response (CTAR) program.
Key characteristics of the required system are: (a) The required system shall be functionally and operationally compatible with an existing MDA Information Systems signal processor. (b) The required system will be provided as a trailer-mounted, fully operational, “ready to use” system requiring minimal physical assembly when deployed to meet a 30-minute setup requirement. (c) The maximum dimensions of the antenna and trailer shall be 117 inches long x 83 inches wide x 79 inches high to permit transportation via commercial air freight.
The draft specification is attached hereto.
NRL requests information and a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate of cost/price for a CTAR Antenna System that possesses comparable or better characteristics than those in the attached specification.
The intent of this RFI is to gauge industry interest, capabilities and relevant heritage experience in providing the required system given the attached specification.
CONTRACTOR RESPONSE FORMAT
