About this file

The document is a Salient Characteristics template for a Department of the Army contract opportunity for the Army Research Laboratory's Antennas and Radio Frequency (RF) Sensing branch. The procurement requires multiple specialized RF measurement system components, including: one Focused Beam Base System (with capabilities supporting 2-40 GHz, including frame, lenses, ultra-wideband antennas, test material holder, and RF cables), software for free-space and waveguide measurements that can invert measurement data into complex permittivity and permeability, automated control software for specimen turntable and beam scan tool, backscatter and bistatic cart upgrades, and a table-top free-space measurement system.

The solicitation (W911QX-25-Q-0083) is currently in pre-solicitation phase, issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The requirement includes two days of on-site installation and training with the purchased equipment. The template is dated 01/8/2019 and includes a commercial availability certification section, suggesting the components are available in the commercial marketplace and can be procured through this solicitation.

Salient Characteristics

Commercial Availability Certification:

I have evaluated the commercial marketplace and determined that all of the salient characteristics documented below are available in products/services offered in the commercial marketplace.

Signature (typed name):

Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

Requirements:

The Antennas and Radio Frequency (RF) Sensing branch at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) requires one (1) Focused Beam Base System, one (1) software for Free Space and Waveguide measurements, one (1) software controls Free Space and Waveguide measurements, one (1) Turntable Upgrade, one (1) Backscatter Upgrade, one (1) Bistatic Cart, one (1) Table-Top Free-Space Measurement System, and Installation and Training with the following minimum salient characteristics:

1. Focused Beam Base System:

o The frame with wheels and stabilized feet with mounting hardware and attachments o Two (2) focus lenses that can support up to 40 gigahertz (GHz) o Ultra-wideband antennas that can support from two (2) – 40 GHz o The holder for material under test that can support from two (2) – 40 GHz o Radio frequency Cables that can support from two (2) – 40 GHz

2. The software that can work with free-space measurement system. The software inverts the measured S11, S12, S21, and S22 data into complex permittivity, permeability, and sheet impedance.

3. The software that automates control of specimen turntable and beam scan tool

4. Backscatter Upgrade and bistatic cart upgrade that allow backscattering and bistatic measurement

5. Installation and Training (Two (2) days on-site)

6. Table-Top Free-Space Measurement System
