Requirement Description for Custom VLF Transmitter System Solicitation # FA9453-15-R-0079

1. System Description:

The system consists of an amplifier element and a custom controller, which may form a single integrated unit, and may require an output transformer to feed a balanced load.

Minimum performance criteria:

Amplifier:

continuous output power 50 - 70 kW (125 kVA) (prefer high end, may be multiple amps combined)

Pulse output power 90-110 kW (125 kVA) 50% duty cycle waveform for >=15 minutes (one shot every few hours is adequate)

3 dB freq range: 14 - 35 kHz total harmonic distortion: < 5 % (3 rd and 5 th harmonic desired -40 dB efficiency at full power >=80% no external cooling or ducting operate with room temperature up to 50 degrees C front panel meters for output voltage and current power input: 480 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz stair step modulation

Controller:

Sine wave synthesis, 14 – 35 kHz Continuous wave and programmable on-off keying Independently-specified on-off periods 0.5s – 5s duration for each state Manual Power control

Transformer:

A custom output transformer with taps may be required, depending on the design, to transmit amplifier power to the load. The intended load is estimated as ~ (25 95) + j0 (depending on frequency).

2. Additional Information Responsive offerors shall address the system requirements in section 1 and propose to the following delivery constraints:

Quantity: 1 complete system Delivery: For proposal costing, offerors should assume the following delivery address:
