Description

This a market survey to locate potential sources for the integration of the GPS Receiver Application Module (GRAM) -- Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Receiver (GASR) into the AN/ASN-128B Doppler/GPS Navigation Set (DGNS). The GASR modules, designed and developed under separate contracts as a joint services effort will be embedded in up to 5 DGNS's provided as GFE. Previous joint service efforts involved membership in the GRAM-SAASM Requirements Working Group (GSRWG) led by Honeywell, and included 4 other Host Application Equipment (HAE) manufacturers. Earlier phases of this Pre-Planned Program Improvement (P3I) effort involved revisions to the SEM-E GRAM specification and ICD-GPS-155 for integration of GASR into the Doppler/GPS Navigation Set (DGNS). The document supporting the GASR module for this effort is CI-GASR-001. Currently the Army has a contract for an 18-month period which involves a continuing review and update of the GASR documentation with the other HAE manufacturers developed under previous contracts. The selectee will be responsible for all engineering required to modify the DGNS design to accept two vendor provided cards configured to the GASR specifications. The selectee will modify up to five DGNS's and provide the government with test support in conducting the evaluation of the modified DGNS. Potential bidders must have the production facilities and hardware to demonstrate the capability to integrate the GASR into an existing DGNS. Technical expertise with the internal circuitry and external configuration of the DGNS system is required. The technical expertise and capability to upgrade the DGNS Ada Operational Flight Program software is required. Selectee must have the capability to upgrade the Army's Software Engineering Environment (SEE) at Ft. Monmouth, NJ. Potential sources must have the capability to qualify the modified system, including qualification testing, including EMI testing, flight testing and operational field testing. Provide responses to: U.S. Army, CECOM, ATTN: SFAE-AV-AEC-F (Dahabsu), Ft Monmouth, NJ 07703 NLT 12 Feb 01.
