About this file
This is a Statement of Objectives for a radio frequency coverage data study at Lackland Air Force Base (AFB), which operates as part of Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA). The requirement involves conducting a comprehensive coverage analysis of the existing Land Mobile Radio (LMR) communication system to identify service gaps and optimize infrastructure. A technical team will survey 4,400 grid cells covering 0.5 by 0.5 mile areas throughout the San Antonio region and 5-mile military influence zones, with both inbound and outbound testing of the six UHF R1 ASTRO Site Repeaters currently positioned on base.
The primary objective is to provide real-time, granular visibility into communication coverage to enable data-driven decision-making and proactively address coverage gaps that currently hinder infrastructure optimization and create service disruption risks. The government lacks internal capability and resources to conduct this survey independently. The analysis is critical to mission safety, as unmapped coverage deficiencies leave Airmen and mission partners reliant on cellular networks in communication dead zones. As JBSA's training area and footprint continue to expand, this coverage data study will support better customer service, regulatory compliance, and informed planning for potential network expansion.

1. DESCRIPTION: The proposed solution will provide Lackland AFB with the requested coverage data study for JBSA. A technical team will survey 4400 .5x.5 mile grids in the San Antonio area and 5-mile military influence areas. The testing will include inbound and outbound testing. This testing will test the range and reliability of the 6 UHF R1 ASTRO Site Repeaters locations currently on base.
2. SPECIFICATIONS OF NEED: We currently lack the real-time, granular visibility required to identify and proactively address communication coverage gaps. This hinders infrastructure optimization and can lead to service disruptions. A new coverage analysis capability will enable data-driven decision-making, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance. By accurately identifying coverage weaknesses, we can significantly improve service reliability and better support user needs. We do not have the means or capability to conduct such a survey ourselves.
3. IMPACT: As our training area expands and JBSA footprint grows we will continue to have areas where LMR communication is unavailable or spotty. Without knowing our current area of coverage and dead spots we put our Airmen and Mission partners in harms way and totally reliant on cell phones. This analysis will allow us to better support our customers and plan for the possibility of expansion to our network.
