Headley, Contract Specialist (540) 653-7765 WEB: Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply. E-MAIL: Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, headleyas@nswc.navy.mil. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is requesting information for a General Purpose Radio Remote (GPRR) to support a US Marine Corps requirement. This information includes sources, contract vehicles, technical information and approximate cost of government-off-the-shelf and commercial-off-the-shelf products that can meet the requirements. NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. The GPRR system will provide improvements in remote communications capabilities for Command and Control. The purpose of the GPRR is to support the establishment of the main radio transmission and antenna site at a tactically and technically sound location, while locating the tactical command element in a more concealed and survivable location. The GPRR system shall have the following capabilities: (1) Remote both digital and analog (voice) radio transmissions a minimum of three kilometers (three miles desired); (2) Connect user terminals to radios via wire, fiber optic cable, and (optionally) wideband low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) transceivers; (3) Support up to 5 users and interface to 5 radios simultaneously; (4) Interface, and be compatible with, all current and planned analog (voice) and digital (encrypted and unencrypted) signals from HF, VHF, UHF, and EHF radio systems operated by the USMC; (5) Interface with End User Computer Equipment and Digital Computer Terminals; (6) Use DC, AC, or vehicle power; and (7) Be transportable by manpack, tactical vehicle, aircraft, or ship (it is desirable that the equipment be easily lifted by one Marine). This request is for information only. This inquiry is intended to identify likely commercial products that will fill all or part of the requirements of a GPRR system and obtain a summary of each product's capabilities. As industry may expect to see portions of submitted information in future solicitations, no proprietary information may be submitted. All interested firms shall contact Angela Headley at (540)653-7765, FAX (540) 653-6810 or e-mail at headleyas@nswc.navy.mil by 20 November 1998, 2:00pm EST.
