CONTENTS

SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the efforts required to integrate, test, certify, and install a Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) upgrade of the existing Telemetry Relay System (TMRS) into the E-9A aircraft. The TMRS upgrade will need to replace the current TMRS components and adhere to the requirements identified in the E-9A TMRS Requirements Document (SRD).

A technical data package will be required for updating the associated technical data and to support the operations and maintenance of TMRS in the air vehicle.

This contract/agreement will cover the program from design through testing and includes all certifications needed to field a production program. It also includes all data and information required to accomplish mission crew and maintenance training required to operate and maintain the TMRS technical solution.

Background The proposed TMRS will allow the E-9A to complete one of its primary missions, as well as address the Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues with this system. TMRS provides the instrumentation necessary to support over-the-horizon testing over the entire Gulf Range at any altitude. The system supports air-to-air/ground missile firings against targets above and on the Gulf waters for Weapon System Evaluations. The TMRS carries an externally mounted passive multi-beam phased array antenna capable of tracking five spatially separated signals that will be multi streams of data. The Airborne Platform (AP) relay records the data on-board and re-transmits the data to a ground based antenna located along the Coast. The current TMRS has become obsolete and unreliable. The modification will support the tracking of a minimum of five spatially separated signals that will be multi- streams of data.
