The Advanced TIP (ATIP) system is an updated version of TIP. Through theATIP, the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) SATCOM capabilityprovides an Extended Data Rate (XDR) function that provides for higher datarates. The ATIP capability is necessary to meet requirements to support robustconnectivity during fleet operations. The legacy Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) Interface Processor (TIP) was developed during the period of 1997through 2002 to provide Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity among Navy shipand shore sites over protected Extremely High Frequency (EHF) Medium DataRate (MDR) Satellite Communication (SATCOM). The legacy TIP solutionimplements Ethernet bridging among participants, requiring no changes to theattached network devices. TIP has been installed on every ship and submarineplatform having EHF MDR capability as well as at a number of shore gatewayfacilities, including Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area MasterStation (NCTAMS) sites, Submarine Broadcast Command Authority (BCA) sites,and DoD Teleport sites. TIP is widely used to support both surface andsubmarine fleet operations. The ATIP is a Layer-2 Ethernet bridging device that will be installed on ship,shore, and submarine platforms. It provides transparent bridging capabilityamong Internet Protocol (IP) users that are geographically dispersed andconnected via Milstar Medium Data Rate (MDR), Advanced EHF MDR/ExtendedData Rate (XDR), or Enhanced Polar XDR links. This bridging function buildsupon the capability originally implemented by the Legacy TDMA InterfaceProcessor (TIP) which is fielded on all Navy EHF MDR and XDR capableplatforms. The ATIP is a key requirement for the PMW/A 170 Navy MultibandTerminal (NMT) system, which relies upon the TDMA Processor for IPconnectivity. The purpose of the proposed acquisition is to procure ATIP systems forinstallation at designated ship, shore, and submarine platforms. The mainfocus areas of this potential contract are software design and development,COTS hardware procurement, some hardware development, hardware andsoftware integration, related Test and Evaluation (T&E) support, and softwaresystems sustainment engineering support. The potential contract would alsoencompass the functions tasks needed to support these main areas such asIntegrated Logistic Support (ILS), configuration management, and programmanagement for tasks associated with the aforementioned ATIP procurementefforts.
