1.2 Location

The range and laboratory analysis will take place Townes Institute Science & Technology

Experimentation Facility (TISTEF) at Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, FL 32953.

TISTEF is located at the intersection of Audubon Road and E. Crisafulli Road in Merritt Island, FL, https://www.google.com/maps/dir/@28.4642955,-80.6519264,21z/data=!3m1!1e3

Each offeror will be allowed to arrive at the facility an hour prior to the beginning of the event so they can arrange its equipment on the site.

1.3 Instructions to Offerors

7. No cellular phones are permitted to be used.

8. No photographic and/or video equipment is permitted to be used.

9. Any discrepancies concerning the pairing analysis process and/or results shall be brought to the attention of the Test Director immediately. The Government reserves the right stop the progression of the analysis to address an offerors concern.

10. All data collected by offerors and/or Government representatives will be collected before the end of each day. No data will be permitted to leave the site by any non-authorized personnel.

1.4 Test Setup

1.4.1 Beam Profile Test Setup

The beam profile target will use an IWS 2 harness.

Figure 1: Beam Profile Target Setup

1.4.2 Pairing Test Setup

As seen in Figure 2, there will be three test targets affixed to the GFE 4’ x 8’ plywood board and

Government furnished commercial pickup truck.

1. Target 1: GFE IWS 2 Harness and Halo

2. Target 2: GFE IWS 2 Harness, Halo, TVS, and Offeror’s detectors
