Description

This is a sources sought notice for market research purposes only. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) Edwards AFB, CA is seeking a supplier of multi-mode telemetry demodulators to support the Advanced Range Telemetry Integration and Support (ARTM I&S) program. The demodulators will be integrated into the AFFTC telemetry acquisition systems to provide hardware that supports the use of spectrally efficient modulated waveforms and improves the utilization of current legacy waveforms. The unit shall be able to demodulate Pulse Code Modulation/ Frequency Modulation (PCM/FM) waveforms, Shaped Offset Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying-Telemetry Group (SOQPSK-TG) waveforms IRIG 106, and Advanced Range Telemetry Continuous Phase Modulation (ARTM CPM) waveforms per IRIG 106. The demodulator shall include an integrated bit synchronizer. In the PCM/FM mode, the demodulator shall provide at least a 2.5 dB improvement in detection efficiency compared to traditional PCM/FM per IRIG 106. The demodulator must be able to support data rates up to 20 Mbps in all three modes. The demodulator shall operate with 20 MHz and 70 MHz IF Inputs. The demodulator shall include a real-time signal quality display. The demodulator shall include an adaptive equalizer to mitigate the effects of multi-path on all three waveforms. The demodulator shall have separate I and Q test outputs for monitoring purposes. The demodulator shall be computer controllable via RS232/422 interface. The demodulator must be compatible in form, fit and function, with Nova Engineering MMD44 Hypermod. Interested organizations must have an already demonstrated product and may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Contractor must be registered with Central Contractor Registration to be eligible for contact award or payment from any DOD activity. Information on registration and annual confirmation requirements may be obtained by calling 1-888-227-2423, or via the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov. Responses are due at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Directorate of Contracting, 5 South Wolfe Avenue, Edwards AFB, CA 93524 by COB (1630 PST) on 23 JUL 04. Any questions concerning this sources sought should be submitted to the Contract Negotiator, Ronda Satori, by email at, ronda.satori@edwards.af.mil or by fax at (661) 275-7824.
