Development of a data package consisting of Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and documentation required to fully describe the FMS radars and the associated manufacturing, test, and acceptance processes. c. Conduct of training, fielding support, and maintainer support as required by the FMS customer. No award is intended as a result of this request. The United States Government (USG) will not pay for information received. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the USG to form a binding contract. SENTINEL PRODUCTION OVERVIEW: The Sentinel F1 is an advanced three-dimensional battlefield X-band, air defense, phased array radar, manned by a crew of two and equipped to support beyond visual range engagements. The Sentinel F1 provides air defense and surveillance of forward areas. It provides 360-degree air surveillance and acquisition tracking day or night, in adverse weather conditions, and in battlefield environments of dust, smoke, aerosols, and enemy countermeasures. The Sentinel F1 supports the digital battlefield by automatically detecting, classifying, identifying, and reporting Cruise Missile (CM), Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), Rotary Wing (RW), and Fixed Wing (FW) threats. The Sentinel Fs1 for the FMS customer will include an ATG integrated onto a mobile platform and communication interfaces. For this production effort the contractor shall fabricate ATGs and complete system integration to deliver a quantity of eight (8) Sentinels F1s conforming to technical performance requirements. The contractor shall also deliver tools, test equipment, associated spares, and other required assets for operation of the Sentinel F1 Radar Systems to be provided to the FMS customer. This effort shall include the development of a data package consisting of Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and documentation required to fully describe the FMS radars and the associated manufacturing, test, and acceptance processes. This effort shall also include conduct of training, fielding support, and maintainer support as required by the FMS customer by a source with sufficient knowledge of this equipment.
