NOAA OSCAR DYSON

RADIO REPEATER

APRIL 2023

0.0 DYSON RADIO REPEATER SYSTEM

1.0 SCOPE:

Areas below the main deck on the NOAA ship Oscar Dyson have very limited reception for handheld radios. This procurement is for a survey of deficient areas, design of a signal boosting system, the material for the system, construction oversight, and system commissioning.

2.0 BACKGROUND:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates a fleet of research vessels that supports research and mapping for the National Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, Office of Atmospheric Research and the National Weather Service, as well as provides support to other Federal agencies. These research missions are time sensitive and therefore the data must be collected at specific times during the sailing season to be meaningful. At the end of each sailing season the vessels enter a repair period (drydock or dockside) to address repairs that have been previously identified, perform upgrades to mission systems or ship systems that either extend the life of the ship or provide new data collection capabilities or for safer operations of ships systems as well as address any emergent work that would adversely affect the ships ability to safely perform its mission on schedule, while meeting all regulatory body requirements (American Bureau of Shipping and United States Coast Guard) and all habitability requirements, including any that may be required as a result of contracts for personnel to augment ship staff.

4.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED MATERIAL: None

5.0 Requirements

5.1 Radio Repeater Survey and Design

5.1.1 Perform a ship wide radio reception survey to determine areas of the ship where cannot both send and receive messages from a hand held radios with maximum 5W power transamination. Document results.

5.1.2 Design system to provide accurate communication between existing handheld radios from any two locations on the ship. Utilizing ships authorized simplex and repeater pair (160 to 175khz band).

5.2 Parts and Service

5.2.1 Provide all parts needed to install the radio repeater system.

5.2.2 A third party contractor provided by NOAA will be responsible for pulling any needed cable as well as mounting any antennas.

5.2.3 Perform final termination/connection of all included devices in the repeater system.

5.2.4 Provide oversight during the installation process and commissioning of the system.

5.3 Additional Parts

5.3.1 In addition to the parts identified the repeater design, supply for following material. All supplied radios will be programmed to work with existing vessel radios.

MOTOTRBO™ R7 Portable Two-Way Radio

IMPRES Li-Ion 2200mAh IP68 Slim Battery

with 1 Display. PN: PMPN4284

5.3.1.1

6.0 Quality Assurance:

6.1 Follow Up Survey

6.1.1 Perform follow up survey with ship’s personnel demonstrating the functional system using vessel handheld radios.

6.1.2 Document signal level reception in the following spaces when transmitting a hand held radios 5W from the pilot house. Aft steering, main engine space, Sonar transducer room and Bow thruster space. Then produce spread sheet showing the difference from survey done in 5.1.1
