58 -- IMPROVED SOF SIGINT MANPACK SYSTEMS SOL USZA22-97-R-0066 DUE 041197 POC Ms. Valerie Romanchek, Contract Specialist, (813)840-5461, FAX No. (813)840-5481 E-MAIL: U.S. Special Operations Command Contracting Office, romanche@soac.hqsocom.mil. United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has a requirement for 104 Improved SOF SIGINT MANPACK Systems (I-SSMS), 120 I-SSMS Retrofit Kits, and 24 I-SSMS Full Up Spare Systems to satisfy Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Army ground fixed and mobile, surface, and airborne requirements. The I-SSMS must consist of a small chassis containing a search receiver and Direction Finding (DF) processor plus two monitor receivers, a power supply and an RF distribution module. The system must meet the Government's size and weight specifications of 5.25"H x 11.5"L x 12.25"W and weigh no more than 15.2lbs (w/o internal battery), with the entire system consuming no more than 7.3 watts. It must operate from -20 to + 50 degrees C, and in 0 to 100% humidity, condensing. The I-SSMS must withstand a 3 foot submersion for 1 minute while operating and must also operate at 15,000 feet. The search receiver must provide a frequency coverage of 0.1MHz to 2000 MHz. The two monitor receivers must operate independently with a power switch and have frequency coverage of 2-2000 MHz. The DF coverage must operate within 2-2000 MHz frequency with an accuracy of 3 degrees RMS. Operating modes must consist of general search, channel scan and manual mode. General search must provide an automatic, semi-automatic, and new energy modes with frequencies selectable in 9 bands. Interfaces must include a remote control interface (RS-232), auxiliary I/O interface (tape recorder audio, digital FSK data, 3Xreceiver IF, COS, and line audio. External power interfaces must consist of solar array, DC, and external battery while internal power interfaces must consist of NiCd with built in charger, Li or Mg. The antenna must meet the Government's size and weight specifications as follows. It must consist of a hand held wand for direction finding on the move, a whip monitor antenna, and a 2-2000 MHz collection and DF antenna 13" dia x 4.5" H with an 11" whip. Azimuth coverage must be 360 degrees, elevation coverage is 0 to +50 degrees. Polarizationmust be vertical. The output impedance must be 50 ohms with power consumption of 0.9 watts. The antenna must weigh no more than 7.5 lbs. USSOCOM intends to award a sole source contract to Delfin Systems, Santa Clara, CA based on market survey results that indicated only one responsible source and no other supplies or services would satisfy our agency's requirements. The contract will be for one basic year plus four option years for delivery of three test articles beginning in December 1997, with follow-on delivery of production systems, retrofit kits, full up spare systems, associated testing and training, spares and repair parts.
