C2 satcom system design/develop/fabricate/testthe partner shall conduct design and development efforts for the C2 satcom system

The satcom transceiver designs shall be consistent with preliminary performance requirements as specified in rtca INC's special committee 228 (SC-228) documentation unless otherwise specified by NASA. The transceivers shall operate within proposed KU & KA-band satcom frequency spectrum for UAS (10.95-11.2 GHZ 11.45-11.7 GHZ 11.7-12.2 GHZ 19.7-20.2 GHZ 14-14.47 GHZ and 29.5-30.0 GHZ) as designated in ITU-r WRC-2015 resolution 155 unless otherwise specified by NASA. Simultaneous operation in both KU and KA bands is not required.-partner milestones for this effort shall consist of:1.generate project PLAN2.develop trade STUDY3.develop system SPECIFICATIONS4.preliminary design REVIEW5.critical design REVIEW6.fabricate PROTOTYPE7.first prototype TEST8.revision design REVIEW9.update PROTOTYPE10.second prototype testb.C2 satcom system certification-the C2 satcom hardware being developed under this effort is for test and validation onboard public-use aircraft thus a supplemental type certificate (STC) or certified hardware is not necessary. The intent of this effort is to develop satcom hardware that is on a path to certification. The partner shall conduct the development of the C2 satcom system under a process consistent with the development of a certified radio. C.C2 satcom system fabrication-the partner shall deliver to NASA GRC three (3) sets of prototype transceivers consisting of three (3) airborne transceivers and three (3) ground based transceivers.-the partner shall deliver to NASA GRC three (3) airborne antennas.d.C2 satcom time-the partner shall provide satellite time for the airborne and ground testing of the C2 satcom system for both NASA and partner testing. E.C2 satcom flight test support-the partner shall support the NASA GRC ground and flight tests of the prototype satcom system with onsite personnel as requested from NASA conduct analysis of data collected during the flight test and deliver flight test reports. F.C2 satcom standards support-the partner shall support the development of the rtca SC-228 satcom mops by participating in rtca SC-228 C2 technical teleconferences and meetings in order to provide information on prototype satcom system design development and results from tests of the prototype equipment. G.frequency licenses for radio operations at locations other than those specified under NASA responsibilities are the responsibility of the partner.h.the partner shall provide all data necessary for the development of national and international standards for C2 satcom systems for UAS operations in the NAS developed under this cooperative agreement. The partner shall make this data available to NASA and to the relevant standards bodies (including but not limited to rtca eurocae icao ITU-r and aeec.)
