PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

UPGRADE WEIBEL RADAR SYSTEMS ANTENNAS AND CHRONOGRAPH PROCUREMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

This Purchase Description is to procure upgrades to two of RS40’s Weibel Tracking Radar systems’ antennas and to procure a new fixed radar (chronograph) to expand current testing capabilities.

2. BACKGROUND

RS40 has been using Doppler radar tracking systems and chronographs manufactured by Weibel Scientific for over

16 years. The Radar systems track in flight ammunition rounds, record and analyze test data. The Weibel Radar

Tracking System is critical in evaluating the safety, serviceability, and performance of the USMC and USA ground ammunition stockpile.

Weibel Scientific is the original equipment manufacturer with no authorized resellers or distributors of the required system. To increase our testing capability, two of our current Weibel antennas require upgrading along with a new chronograph purchase. RS40 currently owns five radar systems. Three tracking radars and two fixed radars

(chronographs). These upgrades will integrate with the current radar systems.

This specific purchase of radar upgrades and supporting accessories/software is required to ensure compatibility and interface with existing equipment and capabilities, and to obtain consistent data across past and future testing.
