1. NEEDS STATEMENT

Cannon AFB requires a new Aviat microwave system to replace existing unsupportable system. These links support installations on Melrose Air Force Range (MAFR) and connectivity between MAFR and Cannon AFB (CAFB). The goal is a system capable of handling the bandwidth demands of the sites and employing diversity techniques to provide both high reliability and high performance on the links between MAFR and CAFB.

This project is broken into three (3) Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) tasks as outlined below. Each task needs to stand on its own:

CLIN 001 Link C: MAFR Bldg. 3161 (GECCO) to MAFR Bldg. 1095 (RSC) and Link D: MAFR Bldg. 3161 (GECCO) to MAFR Bldg. 5000 (RC Tower)

CLIN 002 Link A: CAFB Bldg. 2302 to MAFR Bldg. 3161 and Link B: CAFB Bldg. 9 to MAFR Bldg. 3161

CLIN 003 Link H: MAFR Bldg. 3161 (GECCO) to MAFR Sundale Gate

Services shall include project management, systems engineering services, system design, equipment programming, equipment installation and optimization, equipment removal and disposition, acceptance testing, basic training, and maintenance support for the system described in this document.

To minimize impact to range operations CLIN 002 will require transitioning traffic from the current microwave system to the new system. This necessitates partial acceptance of the link between MAFR and 3161.

2. EXISTING SYSTEM

Cannon AFB is located South of Highway 60, approximately 6.7 miles west of Clovis New Mexico. The terrain is flat with sparse vegetation. Location of this site is in the southwest corner of the installation, just west of the Portales truck gate.

Melrose Range is located South of Highway 60, approximately 30 miles west/southwest of Cannon AFB. The terrain is mostly flat with the mesa itself rising 250ft above the surrounding land.

The current microwave system operates in the 7G band and employs several schemes. The contractor shall work with base spectrum management to identify operational frequencies. The following is provided for reference only.

Other frequencies in use at this location include Melrose Sundale Gate M4700 and Melrose Control Tower M4745 via Cambium PTP links. Further spectrum information will be available to the contractor at time of walk-thru.

2.1 SITE INFORMATION

CAFB 9

Building 9 is the main tower on Cannon. Tower has a reported height of 75 ft. Tower did not have an ID or manufacturer tag. This location provides the link to GECCO 3161 Tower b (approximately 68 ft). MAFR link drops off two network connections, one for base Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and one for LAN, both are converted to fiber and run back to Building

10. The system currently handles TDM (T1) connections, but that is expeted to be discontinued before this effort takes place. TDM also ships to Buidling 10 over fiber and then spit out with an ADIT-600.

CAFB 2302

Building 2302 houses the second shot to MAFR tower b (new tower). This is a Nokia system that is currently not in use; active but not passing traffic. The 100ft tower has space for increasing elevation. Based on conversations with Cannon, there is a high-tension line and terrain obstruction located 1.84 miles LOS from this tower. Distance between tower and B2302 is aproximatly 267ft. Two 4in ducts run between the building and tower base. Fiber exists at this location and Cannon will provide dark fiber back to the closest ITN and to Building 10 for the base LMR connection. The contractor shall be responsible for connecting the dark fiber into base LAN and base LMR. This link will have to be established and proven before the link to Building 9 can be turned down.

Tower ID 225402, ROHN 100’ RT, Drawing 225402-01-A1

MAFR 3161

Building 3161, also called GECCO, is the main microwave facility and switching center on MAFR. The new tower (tower b) is on the west (Tower ID 225400, ROHN 100’ RT, Drawing 225400-01-A1) and the old tower (tower a) is on the east (no tag was found). Two 4” ducts run from the base of tower b to the cable bridge between tower a and building 3161. Aproximate distance from tower base is 220’ from tower b and 40’ from tower a. The shot between 3161b and 2302 is mid way up the tower at 45’. Additional path clearance may be found by increasing the heigh of this antenna. NOTE: cable management stops at the microwave dish and will have to be extended up the tower if the antenna height is increased.

Tower B Tower A

3161 also houses the LMR site for MAFR, this is a dedicated network link back to Building 10 via the microwave at Building 9. The existing TDM (broken out by an ADIT-600) is projected to be decommisioned by the time of this project.

There are five (5) links at this location.

• 3161a to Building 9: [Harris] carries all of the range traffic.

• 3161b to Building 2302: [Nokia] Active but not in use.

• 3161b to RSC (Range Support Complex): [Nokia] Provides RSC with phones and network. By the time of this project all phones are expected to transition to VoIP and no TDM links will be required. Space exists on the tower to have a sytem set up in parallell, however space does not exist on the tower down at RSC.

• 3161b to Control Tower (Building 5000): PTP-600 link supporting network only

• 3161b to Sundale Gate: PTP-600 link supporting network only.This link uses a connectorized variant with dish antenna on both ends.

Harris Stratex

Nokia

MAFR 1095 (Range Support Center)

Tower is 40’ with dish located at 25’. Two 4” ducts run from the tower base to comm room in 1095. Distance from tower to comm room is approximately 60’. Dish location is lower to clear power lines immediately southeast of the facility along the roadway. Facility uses a Nokia microwave. Transport is LAN only, no TDM exists at this facility.

MAFR 5000

Range tower (Building 5000) uses a single PTP-600, LAN only, shot back to 3161a. Antenna is mounted to the handrail at tower top (150ft). Power injector for the PTP is in FPI-1 at the end of the comm room (301). One more floor up to the tower cab then a ladder to the roof.

(approximately 45ft of cable distance).

Note: Suppression device for the PTP-600 is connected in the rack. Contractor shall not reuse this location and place lighting protection devices isolated from equipment racks.

MAFR Sundale Gate

MAFR Sundale gate utilizes a pole mounted PTP-600 (20ft) pointed back the old tower (tower a) on GECCO (building 3161). This is a network only link.

The following table is provided to provide information on the microwave links.
