INTRODUCTIONThe Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division (NSWC CO), PA Department, Code 32 (PA32) requires a Model 6012-48 125W 1.5m Ku-Band Tx/Rx Stabilized Antenna System for the Shipboard Data Collection & Distribution System (SDCDS).2. BACKGROUNDThe NSWC CO facility at Corona, CA has a requirement to provide telecommunications over satellite during Navy test events. As part of this requirement, classified Aegis Weapon System (AWS) data is processed onboard ships and transmitted to Corona for near-real-time data analysis. The analysis is a requirement set forth by the Program Office in order to determine a ship's readiness for deployment. In order to meet these requirements, PA32 requires the purchase of a Model 6012-48 125W 1.5m Ku-Band Antenna System. 3. SCOPEPA32's Ku-Band system provides voice communications and transfers Aegis Weapons System (AWS) data to shore-based teams located at NSWC CO and at range sites for near real-time analysis. The system provides clear and secure communications between ships, Ranges Ops and Analysis support sites. This communication capability is used by the test conductor to coordinate operations with the test ship during events and for Hot Wash-Up and Quick-Look Brief (QLB) discussions between analysts, test team and ship's crew.
