1 Scope This statement of work (SOW) defines the effort required for the design, engineering development, fabrication, and test of multiple units for three unique subsystems of an NRL signal conditioning and distribution system. Additionally, Section 7 defines performance specifications for these subsystems.

1.1 Background

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is developing a radio frequency (RF) signal conditioning and distribution system (SCDS). The SCDS provides configurable connectivity between sensor assets and signal processor assets. To put the SCDS in perspective with the overarching system of systems (SoS), Figure 1-1 shows the SoS-level functional block diagram with the SCDS highlighted. The SCDS accepts outputs of the sensor systems, which can be broadly categorized into five suites of systems: Sensor Systems A, B, C, D, and E. The SCDS provides inputs to mission system equipment, which can be broadly categorized into five suites of equipment:

Mission System A, Mission System B, Mission System C, Mission System D, and Mission System E. The development relevant to this RFP pertains to three SCDS subsystems shown in Figure 1-2 as Unit Type 1, Unit Type 2, and Unit Type 3.
