58 -- APG-63(V)1 / APG-70 Radar Target Generator at Tyndall AFB, Florida

SOLICITATION NUMBER IS CHANGED FROM FA4819-06-T-0033 TO FA4819-06-R-0008. The procurement contemplated is for a Radar Target Generators (RTG) for the APG-63 (V)1 and APG-70 radar test benches at the Integrated Avionics Test Facility (IATF) IAW specifications and attachments identified in the solicitation. This RTS shall include hardware and software to realisitically generate precise, user-defined target returns for the APG-63(V)1 and APG-70 radar systems. The completed effort will provide a fully-integrated RTS with multiple target channels capable of accurately producing synthetic radar targets.The IATF uses RTGs to conduct radar operational flight program (OFP) testing for F-15 aircraft. Det 2, 28 TS currently has no target generation capability for the APG-63(V)1 radar, which is installed in the majority of the F-15C aircraft fleet. The absence of aan APG-63(V)1 RTS prevents the IATF from fully evaluating the APG-63(V)1. Additionally, the existing IATF APG-70 RTS is based on obsolete technology and is over 10 years old. The age of the existing APG-70 RTS is becoming a limiting factor as the parts continue to age and fail. These deficiencies severely limit the Air Force's ability to fully test F-15 OFPs as they are released to the community. The IATF's focus on integrated avionics testing hinges on the ability to generate realistic radar targets with overlaid jamming to evaluate the radar's performance in an electronic attack environment. Completion of the RTS integration will permit successful F-15 radar testing and allow versatility and increased cost savings not possible through conventional flight testingflight-testing. A firm-fixed price contract award is contemplated. This action will be unrestricted and open to all parties interested.
