Statement of Work for Telemetry Antenna System

02-27-2017

1. Background:

The 704th Test Group (704TG) mission is to be the premier provider of unique test and evaluation capabilities relevant to tomorrow’s warfighter through world-class people improving technical excellence, cost-effectiveness, and agility. The 586th Flight Test

Squadron (586 FLTS) is one of the units assigned as part of the 704TG. One of its key test capabilities is the North Area Avionics Test Site (NAATS) where they utilize telemetry capabilities for data acquisition while testing various avionics platforms and equipment for the Department of Defense and its partners over a number of differing airframe configurations.

2. Purpose:

The current telemetry system is antiquated and needs to get upgraded/replaced. Some key elements of this project include replacing the 2.4 meter (8 foot) antenna system with an updated L, S, & C-Band telemetry, 2.4 meter (8 foot) antenna system to include the controller and telemetry receivers and replacing the dome.

3. Scope/Requirements:

Vendor will supply all labor and required material required to install one (1) Complete L, S, & C-Band 2.4 meter (8 Ft) telemetry tracking antenna system to include L, S & C-

Band telemetry receivers, this effort will also including removal and disposal of the existing system and a complete system check out after installation of the new telemetry package. System is comprised of a 2.4 meter antenna system with associated controller station and telemetry data receivers.

Shift Key (SOQPSK)

iii. Each channel must be able to support a minimum of a 40 Mbps data Non-

Return to Zero Level (NRZL) SOQPSK data stream.

iv. Each channel must have a bit sync that supports a minimum of 40Mbps data stream.

v. Receivers must be standard 19 inch rack mountable.

vi. Each channel of said receiver must have an (AM + AGC) output.

vii. Receivers must be L, S, & C- Band capable.

viii. Receivers must be able to handle C-Band however the antenna is set up to do C-Band.

ix. Each receiver must have a baseband video output for each channel.

x. Each receiver must have a data and clock Transistor-Transistor Logic

(TTL) output for each channel.

d. Installation of new telemetry system, including any required cabling and hardware. Cable length from top of tower to inside building 1020 is 240 feet.
