PREPARED BY:

OC-ALC/OBCA

1. SCOPE

The Software Engineering Group (SWEG) requires the upgrade of the Nuclear Testing Apparatus (30m Ellipticus Antenna) located near Bldg. 1027 at Tinker AFB. This upgrade will include the replacement and removalof the existing antenna as well as all associated conduit supports and cabling. This will increase the height of the mast to support the test on various aircraft including the 747, E-4B, VC-25 and KC-46A.

2. BACKGROUND

Tinker is currently the only location with the technical expertise and equipment to conduct Nuclear Hardness testing for the Air Force. A new 30 meter extended antenna is required to support testing on various aircraft including the 747 E-4B, VC-25 and KC- 46A. The existing antenna cannot accommodate the larger aircraft.

The 30-Meter Extended Ellipticus Antenna testing volume will provide sufficient area to accomplish Low Level Continuous Wave (LLCW) testing of a 747-200 airframe with the objective of testing a 747-8i.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1. Project Summary: The following guidelines have been provided by the 72 Air Base Wing (72ABW) Civil Enginneering (CE) department. Any diviation from these must be approved prior implementation.

a) The Contractor shall disassemble the existing 20-Meter Ellipticus Antenna and Support System prior to starting any installation work. They shall lower the antenna and disconnect it from the support system and lower both support poles and disconnect all guys. The Contractor shall dispose of both support poles and the two (2) wooden poles from the older (and already dismantled) HSI antenna per site SME directions.

b) The Contractor shall complete site preparation and foundation work, including support structure and winch foundations and pouring a concrete pad for the climate controlled, 8’ x10’ amplifier shelter. Engineering analysis shall be provided prior to the installation of support structure.

c) Site preparation shall also include preparation of the ground plane surface.

Ground plane shall be leveled to approximate height of Compass Rose. A concrete pad with wooden poles around the perimeter shall be installed to prevent damage to ground plane and pad.

d) The Contractor shall provide an 8’ x 10’ metal, climate controlled structure for the amplifier. It shall be placed on a pad and anchored in place at the base of the northwest antenna pole.

e) The Contractor shall provide power to the amplifier structure (for lighting, climate control, additional 110 volt outlets, 220 volt 30 amp for the amplifier) and to the support structures (for the winches and emergency lighting system). This power to the shelter and northwest support pole will be run from the existing service located in Building 1027 and the power to the southeast support pole shall be run from the existing southeast support pole. All power shall be run underground.

f) The Contractor shall erect the two support structures and hardware and secure with the Down-Guys and install the Cross-Guy between the two support structures. This shall be followed by installation of powered winches to raise/lower the antenna and lightning protection system. The antenna and ground plane shall then be installed. Once completed the Government will mount the Government furnished drive equipment in the portable amplifier shelter and install the antenna terminations.

g) Aircraft Warning Light System, Aerial Markersand Lightning Protection System shall be provided for the new Antenna and Supporting Shelter.

h) SWEG/555 MXDPCD will assist the Contractor in conducting a RF Validation Test on the 30-Meter Extended Ellipticus Antenna to verify its functionality and that it meets all illumination requirements. The antenna must be capable of radiating a continuous wave electric field within the test volume of field strength of no less than 1V/m across the operational frequency range (10kHz to 1 GHz) when measured at a location 3 meters above the ground directly beneath the antenna balun. The antenna must perform the requirement when driven with existing amplifier/network analyzer (RF/Microwave Instrumentation model SP1088 and Network Analyzer Keysight Technologies E5061B. This will be similar to a standard field mapping exercise performed routinely using the existing 20-Meter Ellipticus Antenna.

i) The Government will provide use of the Depot Hardness Surveillance Test System (DHSTS), instrumentation and drive system to support the RF Validation Test. The Contractor shall develop and deliver a Validation Test Plan two weeks prior to the start of the RF Validation Test for the SME to review. Following the validation testing, the Government will assist the contractor if required in order to generate and deliver a RF Validation Test Report.

j) The Contractor shall leave the area clean and without debris.

k) A Project schedule for all project activities will be provided 30 days after contract award.

l) A preliminary design review shall be conducted within 90 days of contract award.

a. The contractor shall provide for Government approval computational electromagnetics modeling and simulations demonstrating the performance and electromagnetic field characteristics of their proposed design including vertical and horizontal modes of antenna operation.

m) A critical design review shall be conducted on-site 90 days after the preliminary design review. Engineering drawings and specifications shall be provided to the Government two weeks prior to the design review.

n) The contractor shall provide monthly progress updates to the Government.

o) Project shall be completed within 18 months of contract award.

• Antenna apex (balun) shall be 30m above pad.

• Antenna apex shall intersect the symmetry plane at 90°.

• At +/-38m (+/-125’) from center, Antenna shall be at least 28m above pad with design objective of 29m.

• From the +/- 38m points, the Antenna shall follow an elliptical shape (magenta) of vertical radius of 30m and horizontal radius of 81.75m within +/-2m, with a design objective of +/-1m.

• Antenna shall be 90°+/-10° of the ground plane for at least the last 2m of its length with a vertical ground stake connection.

• Antenna base shall be at +/-81.75m
