Statement of Work Phased Array Radar Training Course Background: Over the last couple of year Port Hueneme Division has hired 600 new employees, many of those are engineers and technicians. It is a priority that we train our newly hired technical work staff on the concepts and terminology of modern day radar. Thus, this training is aimed at improving and maintaining the proficiency in the full range design and in-service support of phased array radar systems. Requirement: Number of classes: 2 classes (one in Port Hueneme and one in Virginia Beach VA) Course Length: 4 days (32 hours) Location: Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division • Port Hueneme CA • Virginia Beach VA Number of Students: 20 Objective: A very significant portion of the NSWC PHD mission is in involved with the development, testing, and support of shipboard radar. Training needs to be aimed at improving and maintaining proficiency in the full range of design and in-service support to radar systems installed onboard ships and shore stations around the globe. NSWC PHD is required to have a workforce with a firm understanding of Phased Array Radar Systems. Prerequisites: Students should have a basic understanding of radar systems and functionality. Topics of discussion include: • Terminology and concepts related to phased array radar theory and principles of operations and design • Phased Array functionality and configuration o Control and scheduling o Radar sizing and performance estimation o Signal processing o Phased array antennas  Antenna technology  Monopole phased array antenna design, analysis, and measurements o Calibration and alignment o Computer-aided design of phased arrays  Adaptive algorithms to include digital beam forming o Monopole phased array field characteristics in the focused near-field region o Low-sidelobe phased array antenna measurements using near-field scanning Course Materials Provided: Analysis software programs: PARSize multiple-function radar sizing tool, GLOBE phased array antenna design tool, and LINARRAY antenna pattern and error visualization. Methods of Learning: The methods of learning should be conducted through an immersive workshop to include, lectures, case studies, and simulations. Textbooks for each student and other training material should be provided by the vendor as part of the training. Target Audience: This class is designed for Engineers and Technicians that have a working knowledge of radar systems and functionality. Technical Evaluation Criteria: • Technical- Does the proposal meet our command's training objective? • Past Performance-List relevant customers with references Period of Performance: ARO - 30 Sep 2017 Training Date: Workforce Development will work with the selected vendor to schedule a training date.
