SECTION 1

Overview

1.1 Purpose. This document provides performance specifications for modernizing the AN/GRN-29

Instrument Landing System (ILS). This effort involves a modernization that replaces existing obsolete ILS components with modern Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) equipment, integrates them into the existing infrastructure, and enables Remote Maintenance and Monitoring (RMM)

1.2 Relevant Equipment: Each system includes AN/GRN-30 Localizer Station, AN/GRN-31 Glideslope Station, shelter, remote control and status indicator and interlock control unit subsystems. There are multiple configurations of Localizer and Glideslope stations based on terrain or other site difficulties.

This includes dual-frequency and single-frequency Localizer Stations, and Null Reference and Capture Effect Glideslope Stations. There are no Category III approaches, but all ILS configurations are CAT II capable. There are also school-house ILS, which may be modernized. These school-house systems can be setup in any configuration, but do not include any antenna subsystems (dummy loaded).

1.3 GENERAL

1.3.1 The USAF desires to reduce the logistical footprint of all the Navigation Aids (NAVAIDS) devices.

1.3.2 This program is part of an Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century (AFSO21) initiative.

1.3.3 An AFMC 1067 has been approved for this Modernization (Control Number AFFSA090925).
