SOW: Iridium SatCom Repeaters

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

DMEA 24-4E3

29-Mar-2024

Project Engineer: Sergey Ishchuk, DMEA/MEAB, (916) 824-4147

1.0 SCOPE: Procure Iridium Repeaters capable of rebroadcasting Iridium signals collected from a rooftop antenna into DMEA’s Quick Reaction Engineering (QRE) Satellite Communications (SatCom) and Radio Frequency (RF) laboratories.

1.1 TITLE: Iridium SatCom Repeaters

1.2 APPLICABILITY: Recently DMEA’s primary QRE client has requested DMEA’s Iridium SatCom systems with onboard antennas be tested to rigorous performance specifications. In order to support this, the devices must be able to communicate wirelessly with the Iridium Satellite network while in test chambers/laboratories that inhibit direct communication with the Satellites. Installing Iridium repeaters in DMEA’s RF and environmental test laboratories allows the Iridium signal to be collected via rooftop antenna and rebroadcast within the laboratories and test chambers.

1.3 BACKGROUND: DMEA’s QRE group has been limited to testing Iridium SatCom systems either via direct link to an Iridium antenna, or outside DMEA’s facilities where there is adequate sky view. Recent environmental requirements have necessitated that these Iridium devices be rigorously tested in extreme conditions (high temperature, low temperature, high vibration, extreme shock, etc.) where satellite signals cannot be accessed. Most of DMEA’s Iridium devices have onboard antennas that cannot be directly linked to a rooftop antenna, thereby requiring that the device be able to communicate wirelessly with the Iridium satellite.

1.4 PURPOSE: Acquire three (3) COTS Iridium repeaters to be installed within DMEA’s RF Laboratory, Environmental Test Lab, and adjacent to the QRE Antenna farm main connection panel. These tools will provide DMEA Engineers a method by which to validate system functionality and characterize performance while the systems undergo extreme environmental testes.
