- Description
- The USAF TPS requires the refurbishment of the 8 ft antenna system with a new ACU, Pedestal interface Unit (PIU), camera tracking system and spare components by TCS. The ACU specifications include: * 15" color touch screen * 1.8 GHz Pentium M processor * 512 MB RAM * Windows XP Platform * 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD-RW, 1.44 Mb Floppy * Ethernet (TCP/IP,UDP/IP), RS-232/422/485, and GPIB external interfaces * ACU must interface with the PIU through fiber optic, multiconductor cable or USB * Support conical scan feed, SCMP or E-scan * Front panel USB interfaces * Have the Edwards AFB Slaving System integrated into the ACU * Form, fit and function to the existing antenna systems currently in use at USAF TPS, which is proprietary to TCS, Inc. TPS also requires a compact color CCD camera with sun shield and camera system to include monitor, video interface cables and mounting adapters in order to visually track takeoff and landing to prevent data loss due to TM dropouts. Camera tracking systems are standard on all Range antenna assets and critical for mission data quality. The camera must have a ½",.75mm, F1.8 on chip Microlens with auto iris, 32x zoom and no need for a control panel. The necessary power will be supplied from the pedestal and the video will be brought out via the slip ring assembly. The 8 ft antenna system must be form, fit, and function to the existing antenna systems currently in use at the USAF TPS, which is proprietary to TCS, Inc. TPS is also requesting a Pedestal I/F PCB assembly and power supply with PCB assembly for the PIU to interface with the new antenna system to serve as spares for components that are critical to operation. The parts were deemed mission critical if they were to fail due to everyday usage.
