What is the purpose of the item(s): The radio base station equipment will be situated at the 500' tower (Bldg 54715) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) and keyed remotely through the CCAFS Digital Range Communication System (DRCS). A backup system is also needed at the radio site (Bldg 1102) with a third full system for sparing. The 3 full transceiver systems need to include antennas, antenna cables, microphones for maintenance checks at the radio, rack-mounting hardware, etc. This equipment will give operators sitting on console at the CCAFS Murrell Operation Control Center the ability to contact recovery aircraft during the recovery operation of manned space launch on a dedicated frequency of 46.65 MHz.
