- Description
- SYNOPSIS - AB-133E-16-RP-0061 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) seeks a contractor for the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) to provide hardware technology refresh efforts associated with the Polar Ground System Digital Electronic Units (DEU), the Antenna Control Units (ACU), and to provide continued technical sustainment and warranty support. Scope The tasks required to provide a hardware technology refresh and development effort for the NOAA Ground System Digital Electronic Units (DEU)/Antenna Control Units (ACU). The replacement ACUs are for the Polar Ground System 13-meter Daytron antennas at Wallops and Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Stations (CDAS), the 5-meter Daytron antennas at the Fairbanks CDAS and Barrow, AK station, the 14.2-meter General Dynamic at the Wallops CDAS and the 5-meter Malibu antenna at the Fairbanks CDAS. a)Replace the aging DEU/ACU with the latest version of Red Hat Linux Operating System, interface enhancements, and latest hardware components at both the Wallops and Fairbanks CDAS. b)Develop and install the ACUs for two 13-meter Daytron and one 14.2-meter General Dynamic Polar Antenna System at the Wallops CDAS. •The ACU shall replace the existing two 13-meter antenna DEUs. •The ACU shall interface with 13-meter Synchro Servo Module for motor drives. •The ACU shall interface and control the 13-meter antenna L/S and X-Band feed, down converter, tracking receivers, polarity switches, transmit load switch, Probe verify, and command verify per DEU command interface listed in Appendix D. •The ACU shall support L/S and X-Band auto track. •The ACU shall support remote control with ASCII text interface to the Epoch LEO-T antenna control system. •The ACU shall replace the existing 14.2-meter ACU. •The ACU shall interface with the 14.2-meter antenna Synchro Servo Module for motor drives. •The ACU shall interface and control the 14.2-meter antenna L/S and X-Band feed, down converter, tracking receivers, polarity switches, transmit load switch, and verify probe. •The ACU shall support L/S and X-Band auto track. •The ACU shall support remote control with ASCII text interface to the Epoch LEO-T antenna control system. c)Develop and install the ACU for three 13-meter Daytron Polar Antenna Systems at the Fairbanks CDAS. •The ACU shall replace the existing three 13-meter antenna DEUs. •The ACU shall interface with 13-meter Synchro Servo Module for motor drives. •The ACU shall interface and control the 13-meter antenna L/S and X-Band feed, down converter, tracking receivers, polarity switches, transmit load switch, Probe verify, and command verify per DEU command interface listed in Appendix D. •The ACU shall support L/S and X-Band auto track. •The ACU shall support remote control with ASCII text interface to the Epoch LEO-T antenna control system. d)Develop and install the ACUs for one 5-meter Daytron and one 5-meter Malibu Polar Antenna System at the Fairbanks CDAS. •The ACU shall replace the existing 5-meter ACU. •The ACU shall interface with 5-meter Malibu Synchro Servo Module for motor drives. •he ACU shall interface and control the 5-meter antenna L/S and X-Band feed, down converter, tracking receivers, polarity switches, transmit load switch, Probe verify, and command verify. •The ACU shall support L/S and X-Band auto track. •The ACU shall support remote control with ASCII text interface to the Epoch LEO-T antenna control system. e)Develop and install the ACU for one 5-meter Daytron Polar Antenna System at the Point Barrow, AK Station. •The ACU shall replace the existing 5-meter DEU. •The ACU shall interface with 5-meter Synchro Servo Module for motor drives. •The ACU shall interface and control the 5-meter antenna S Band feed, down converter, tracking receivers, polarity switches, transmit load switch, Probe verify, and command verify DEU command interface listed in Appendix D. •The ACU shall support S-Band auto track. •The ACU shall support remote control with ASCII text interface to the Epoch LEO-T antenna control system. f)Perform Factory Acceptance Testing on all ACU deliverables per each antenna type ( one for 13-meter Daytron, one for 14.2-meter General Dynamic, one for 5-meter Daytron, and one for 5-meter Malibu). g)Perform Site Acceptance Testing on all ACU deliverables per each antenna. General ACU Specifications Dimensions: 19" rack mounts up to 7U height Weight: Less Than 30 lbs. (13.6 kg) Power: 90VAC to 220VAC - Less than 200W (Typical) GUI: User-friendly front panel interface for operator control HW interface: Maximum hardware expansion possibilities.
