The applicable North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code assigned to this effort is: 541715. 2.0 SUMMARY OF SYSTEM: TYAD is seeking potential sources with the capability to provide solutions for the mobile far field capability to measure beam pointing accuracy for AN/TPQ-36(V)12 as well as AN/TPQ-37(V)10 radar systems. Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought 3.0 PROJECT REQUIREMENTS: TYAD is providing the following as an overall review of requirements that have been identified due to past experience with similar equipment. All of the following requirements may not necessarily be included upon posting in the event of a solicitation, as this notice is to provide market research as to what is currently available, versus what would need to be developed. 3.1 General Requirements: ? Deliver hardware and software to record beam pointing accuracy. ? Deliver post processing software to analyze beam pointing accuracy errors. ? Develop the algorithm to minimize beam pointing accuracy errors and meet the design specification. ? Conduct technical design reviews at 30%, 60%, and 90% completion. 3.2 Documentation Requirements: ? Deliver user manual, parts list, design drawings and a copy of the executable software upon delivery. 4.0 AVAILABILITY OF SPECIFICATIONS: Design specifications/drawings and technical data are available for review to assist in assessing the capabilities sought. Distribution is limited to those interested parties that possess an active registration with the Joint Certification Program (JCP). The link to the JCP may be found at: https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP.aspx The TYAD Points of Contact (POC) listed below may be contacted in order to obtain the documentation.
