The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to purchase on a sole source bas! is the following: CLIN 0001 - one (1) Varigen Digital Electronic Warfare Simulator from Varilog Research, Inc, 5020 Sunnyside Ave, Ste 203, Beltsville MD 20705-2307. The simulator is used to support the production of the AN/SLQ-32(V) threat databases, produced and delivered to the U.S. Fleet annually; to support upgrades to the AN/SLQ-32 system under the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP); and to support interoperability testing and threat database development for Rapid ASM Integrated Defense System (RAIDS), Shipboard Self Defense System (SSDS), and NULKA programs. Each unit is designed to interface specifically to the AN/SLQ-32(V). The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), Combat Direction Systems Activity (CDSA), Dam Neck has been tasked to conduct Combat System Integration Testing (CSIT) and platform certification at CDSA Dam Neck. The AN/SLQ-32 is a surface electronic warfare system on board all U.S. Navy surface combatants and ! some foreign military combatants. Data is formatted into geo-graphically tailored threat libraries once all of the testing using the digital simulator is complete. The threat libraries will identify an emitter, notify the operator of the type of threat and in some cases automatically activate the combat system. The contractor shall provide a digital simulator capable of generating Pulse Descriptor Words (PDW) with multiple outputs capable of injection into the AN/SLQ-32. The simulator shall be capable of generating RF, Frequency Modulation, Pulse Modulation, Scan, and the system shall be capable of generating platforms with movement. The contractor shall provide the system with the following attributes: Multiple simultaneous beams with beam attributes & pointing dynamics specified independently of pulse repetition frequency (PRI), pulse width (PW), Radio Frequency (RF), and Modulation on Pulse (MOP) characteristic. Multiple searching and target tracking segments, other mul! ti-segment complex scan patterns with accurate modeling of dead times and bar transitions. The system shall also have multiple segments of repeated sequences (or constant values) in PRI and RF domains, based on either time or number of pulses, with transitions optionally synchronized to scan segment transitions. The system shall also perform position modulation or on/off keying (PCM) on individual pulses within a frame. Specific Characteristics - The contractor shall provide software to enable a minimum of 512 platforms. The contractor shall provide software and firmware to enable a dense environment to include a minimum of 1023 emitter modes. Pulse Density - The system shall be capable of generating 1 (one) million pulses per second (Mpps) for a mix of complex emitters. The system shall generate 4 (four) Mpps for a mixture of high PRF emitters. PRI: The system shall be capable of performing the following modulations: jittered, fixed, saw tooth, sinusoidal, triangular, dwel! l switching, and discretely jittered. The system shall be capable of performing the following RF types: single, agile, fixed sequence, multibeam, modulating, dwell, switching, discretely agile (random selection from value set). The system shall have the capability to accurately simulate the following scans: omni, circular, sector, raster, conical, spiral, palmer, simultaneous az/el sector, and random. Hardware Requirements - The simulator shall be operated by a notebook computer (2 GHZ min. with 512 mega byte RAM min., 100 base T Ethernet, CD-RW, 40 G byte removable hard drive min., Windows 2000 or XP operating system serving as the scenario computer and a 19inch rack mountable main unit of depth not exceeding 24 inches and a height not exceeding 15 inches. Government Furnished Equipment (GFE): Interconnecting cables from the simulator to the AN/SLQ-32, AN/SLQ-32 drawings and documentation. Software: The simulator operating system shall be Windows 2000 based with drag and dr! op editing available for scenarios and libraries. Documentation: The contractor shall provide a detailed document of maintenance and operating instructions. On site, hands on training shall be provided on delivery. Classification: The system will be classified Secret once scenarios have been installed. The item shall be delivered 150 days from date of contract.
