1.0 SCOPE

1.1 Introduction

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the integration, configuration, test and sustainment of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Deployable Node-Lite (SDN-L). The SDN-L shall provide the tactical communicator an enhanced operational capability, an increase in bandwidth/data throughput, enhanced security capability, and an overall size and weight reduction as compared to existing legacy systems.

1.2 System Description

The SDN-L is a portable satellite communications (SATCOM) terminal(s) and associated baseband providing secure and non-secure voice, video and data communications to SOF worldwide. The SDN-L configuration provides a multi-user, multi-classification transmission capability. The SDN-L will provide tactically deployed SOF users worldwide connectivity to the SOF Information Enterprise (SIE). SDN-L provides the capability for multiple users/laptops to access SIE services and will be capable of operating at simultaneous classifications (GREY, RED, BLACK services). The configuration of the SDN-L system will be modular in design to enable the system operator to configure the system for various mission requirements. A notional system layout is presented in Figure 1 below:

The SDN-L will be comprised of a baseband chassis, a SATCOM terminal, laptop computer, auxiliary power case and ancillary devices. The system’s laptop will be provided as GFE. The SDN-L system components will reside in the baseband chassis and will be transported in a separate ruggedized transit case or backpack (both transport containers shall be provided by the Contractor). When in operational mode, the laptop and the SATCOM terminal shall be physically removed from the chassis (the chassis is used for stowage of these two components when in transit). The intent is to transport the SDN-L system, in the ruggedized transit case, to the area of operations via military or commercial air. Once in the area of operations, the operator has the option of transporting the system using either the ruggedized transit case or backpack.

Upon arrival, the system operator will have the ability to configure the system with the required components based on mission need (e.g., a multi-user, multi-classification system as shown in Figure 1 above). The operator will also have the option of severing the SATCOM, laptop and HAIPE functions to form a single user, single enclave classification (RED, BLACK or GREY) capability as seen in Figure 2 below. This capability is a severable subsystem (SDN-L (SS)) of the SDN-L system. A separate carrying bag (e.g., canvas/nylon) shall be provided by the Contractor for the SDN-L (SS) components. A notional system layout of the SDN-L (SS) is presented in Figure 2 below:

· Sand and Dust IAW MIL-STD-810F (Change Notice 3 dated 5 May 2003), method 510.4

· Shock IAW MIL-STD-810F (Change Notice 3 dated 5 May 2003), method 516.5 procedures II and IV (when packaged in transit cases).

· Rain IAW MIL-STD-810F (Change Notice 3 dated 5 May 2003), method 506.4, Procedure 1

4.5.4.7 Prime Power

The X-band terminal shall auto-sense and operate from universal prime power ranging from 110/220 VAC, 50/60 Hz and 12-48 VDC. Input power shall be internally filtered by the X-band terminal. The terminal shall have the ability to be powered solely by external power (AC/DC) or internal battery pack. For operations using external power, the internal batteries will not be required for use. Batteries will be BA-5590/BB590, or similar, and easily removable by the field operator. An integrated battery case shall be provided in the X-band terminal; an objective of 30 minutes of operational time shall be provided while powered by rechargeable battery(s).

4.5.4.8 Modem Function

The X-band terminal shall be provisioned with an embedded iDirect modem function (iConnex Evolution). The modem function shall support iDirect Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access (MF-TDMA), Digital Video Broadcast-Satellite Return Channel (Generation 2) (DVB-S2), and spread spectrum modes of operation. The modes of operation shall be selectable by the terminal operator and not require the operator to externally load additional software.

4.5.4.9 Radio Frequency (RF) and Throughput Performance

The X-band terminal shall provide RF performance to an extent that the reception of data rates up to 4 Mbps and the transmission of data rates up to 1 Mbps are supported, as a minimum. The RF performance of the terminal shall provide signal levels required by the iDirect modem function to support the throughput rates identified above when operating in any of its modes of operation.

4.5.4.10 Terminal Weight

The X-band terminal weight shall not exceed 40 pounds (Threshold), and 10 pounds (Objective). The X-band terminal battery weight shall not be included when calculating terminal weight.
