- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Detachment Norfolk (NSWCCD DETNOR) in Suffolk VA is seeking information from potential sources which can provide an existing Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar with small scanner profile to be tested on high-speed combatant craft (70-100 foot in length) for mission capability. The radar and its associated antenna(s) will have the following qualities: ? Low Radar Cross Section ? Low Power consumption ? Potential interface with Furuno NavNet display system ? Low weight, ideally less than 200 pounds ? Ability to function in sea state 3 and survive in sea state 5 ? Withstand the operation environment of a Navy combatant craft (ocean and riverine) ? Antenna should be less than three (3) feet in diameter; depth should be less than ten (10) inches; height less than fifteen (15) inches A complete LPI radar system incl uding Automated Radar Plotting Aide (ARPA) processor flat panel display will be installed on a Government test craft for evaluation by the USN. Following successful testing of the radar, the equipment will be removed from the test craft and installed on an operational USN craft for further Government evaluation. Providing Commerical Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and/or new hardware, designing or procuring new software and hardware, laboratory and on-craft testing will be required.
