1 Introduction

The TS-4549/T shall be a single test set to test all current and future Army radios. Once a radio is connected to the TS-4549/T it shall automatically and manually, via the APSs, step through a comprehensive series of test parameters and compare the radio’s response to the known limits of the test parameters. All aberrations of limits shall be flagged and reported to the user. The user shall then be able to use the test set to perform operational screening tests, troubleshoot and repair the radio as recommended by the Radio OEM/Army maintenance philosophy.

At this point in time Product Director Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (PD-TMDE) does not possess any of the Intellectual Property (IP), such as Application Source Code and radio specific information for APSs that runs on the AN/GRM-122. At the time of APSs (historically called TPS) creation, the Government only required the executable code. As such, PD-TMDE has no IP to use in generating new APSs for the development of the TS-4549/T Radio Test Set. The selected Contractor(s) shall be responsible for generating a new Prototype Radio Test Set with four (4) APSs. The Contractor(s) shall negotiate with the Radio Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to acquire the IP they need. PD-TMDE will also require the Contractor(s) to submit Government Purpose Rights, IP along with the APSs, development software and compilers for all radios they are required to develop for archival purposes to be used when the TS-4549/T goes obsolete and is replaced. For future radios, the program offices for those radios will be required to submit the same data for radios they want tested on the TS-4549/T.

Two APSs shall demonstrate the ability to support the SINCGARS family of radios and the remaining two APSs shall demonstrate the ability to support Software Defined Radios (SDRs). Vendors shall provide Executable Application Program Software with each Prototype TS-4549/T Radio Test Set. Other required deliverables are listed in Section 4.0. PD-TMDE will require three months of testing to conduct an assessment of the prototypes (to include the APSs) and Executable Application Program Software using representative fielded radios.

The Government intends on operationally testing this Prototype Representative Model as Version 1.0 with the four (4) APSs after the completion of the Operational Test and Readiness Review (OTRR). This assessment will utilize User Facility of Use (UFOU) evaluation in conjunction with CASCOM at Fort Gordon. The operational & calibration test will require the United States Army TMDE Activity (USATA) to conduct a validation and verification of the TS- 4549/T Radio Test Set’s instrumentation ability to meet the requirements outlined in accordance with Performance Specification, MIS-PRF-60487A during Operational and Calibration Testing.
