About this file
This is a Statement of Need for spectrum operations equipment dated February 10, 2025. MacDill Air Force Base requires one Rohde & Schwarz PR200 portable RF spectrum analyzer with CEPTOR software to provide proactive support and protection for spectrum-dependent mission and weapon systems. The system is designed to automatically detect radio frequency parameters, verify known and unknown frequency users, and prevent electromagnetic radiation hazards that could potentially detonate electrically initiated devices in ordnances. It also identifies and alerts of interfering frequencies affecting critical base communications including Security Forces, Fire, and Air Traffic Control systems.
The required equipment includes the PR200 portable receiver with firmware options (Panorama Scan, Polychrome, Mapping, Internal Recording), warranty extension from one to five years, various accessories including spare battery and charging equipment, HE400 handheld directional antenna with multiple frequency elements, HE600 omni-directional monitoring antenna, and CEPTOR controller with software modules for search, data collection, spectrum usage calculation, and signal identification. The equipment must be delivered to Building 261, 2308 Florida Keys Ave, Tampa FL 33621, with customer service available during normal duty hours (0800-1600, Monday-Friday) excluding federal holidays. The contract includes a five-year warranty requirement.

SPECTRUM OPERATIONS EQUIPMENT REQUEST
STATEMENT OF NEED
02/10/2025
1. Requirement:
The Rohde & Schwarz PR200 with CEPTOR software allows for proactive support and protection of spectrum dependent mission and weapon system equipment of MacDill AFB. The systems were designed with the input of military spectrum managers to be a necessary tool to automatically detect radio frequency parameters (bandwidth, power, duration) to effectively verify known and unknown frequency users. The Rohde & Schwarz PR200 with CEPTOR system aides in preventing unnecessary risks that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitters can cause to ordnances during transmit. EMR hazards can potentially fire off the circuit in ordnances that are electrically initiated devices (EIDs). The system identifies and alerts of interfering frequencies, in real-time, affecting communications on base such as Security Forces, Fire, and Air Traffic Control which provides the spectrum manager the ability to quickly identify, locate, and mitigate the cause of the interference that is affecting command and control spectrum dependent systems.
2. Characteristics: PR200 portable receiver with:
-Firmware options *Panorama Scan *Polychrome *Mapping *Internal Recording -Extension of standard one-year PR200 warranty to five years total -Accessories *Spare battery *External battery charger *DC car charger *Pelican case for PR200 and HE400 -HE400 handheld directional antenna handle and elements *HE400VHF (20 MHz-200 MHz) *HE400UWB (30 MHz-6 GHz) *HE400LP (450 MHz-8 GHz) -HE600 omni-directional monitoring antenna (20 MHz - 8 GHz) *IN600 AC bias unit *Mast adapter, cables, and transit case -CEPTOR controller with software modules: *Search and Observe *Collect Data *Calculate Spectrum Usage *Signal Identification
