Description

The Government seeks sources for the production and integration of Sentinel (AN/TPQ-64) Enhanced Target Range and Classification (ETRAC) modernization components with the goal of fielding a modernized Sentinel capability starting in the first quarter of FY04. The modernized components are currently under development with a functional hardware demonstration planned Feb-May 02. Components include an updated transmitter, receiver, exciter, analog to digital converter, signal data processor, antenna rotation control and Radio Frequency power handling modifications. Retrofits are expected to be accomplished over a 5 year period, at a rate of 24 to 30 systems per year. The sources sought are for any or all of the following actions: prrocurement of the modernized components, retrofit of the components into GFE Sentinel systems and hardware and software engineering support for the production fielding of the modernized Sentinel systems. A full Sentinel Technical Data Package will not be made available; however, modernized component level 2 drawings will be provided to support production. The modernization component design will require productization. A production verification test will be required. The contract award for this action is anticipated to follow the Feb-May 02 hardware demonstration.
