The U.S. Army intends to award a sole source contract for SCDL Improvement to Cubic Defense Systems, Inc. 9333 Balboa Ave., P.O Box 85587, San Diego, CA 92186-5587. The SCDL broadcasts radar data from the Joint STARS E-8 Aircraft to the Joint STARS Common Ground Stations (CGS). The SCDL consists of the Air Data Terminal (ADT) located in the E-8 aircraft and the Ground Data Terminals (GDT) located in the CGS. The Air Force is making improvements to the radar on the E-8 aircraft to increase the quanity of data generated. The Army needs to receive this increased radar data in the CGS to provide more effective moving target tracking and more effective fixed target detection and identification. Improvements to the Joint STARS data link are needed to transmit this increased data to the CGS. This contract will be for the design, prototype, testing and analysis of modifications of SCDL equipment, which are necessary to provide technical answers related to determination of the best approach for increasing the data rate of the Joint STARS data link. Award will be made per FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), "Only One Responsible Source". The Government does not possess documentation of the SCDL waveform or the detail design of SCDL, only Cubic Defense Systems Inc. possesses proprietary rights to five elements of the SCDL design.
