Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments

Description Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division is conducting market research to identify capable sources for an integrated radio-frequency (RF) test-equipment capability supporting aircraft electronic-warfare system integration and test. The Government requires a complete solution capable of: Importing, storing, processing, streaming, and playing back the Government’s existing I/Q data files; Recording and Generating RF signals from applicable I/Q data while preserving required data integrity and signal fidelity; Interfacing between the I/Q recorder, RF signal generator, and the Government’s existing signal and spectrum analyzer test architecture; and Providing all required hardware, software licenses, interfaces, cables, installation, integration, and support necessary for an operational configuration. The Government’s existing test architecture includes an R&S FSW67 signal and spectrum analyzer requiring a digital-I/Q streaming-interface upgrade. The anticipated solution must support interoperability between the existing analyzer, the I/Q recorder, and the RF signal-generator configuration. The Government possesses an existing library of R&S-format I/Q data files that must be usable within the required test architecture. Proposed solutions must identify any conversion, translation, preprocessing, or additional hardware/software necessary to use the Government’s existing files. Any proposed data conversion must preserve the required data integrity, metadata, timing, sample rate, bandwidth, phase coherence, and signal fidelity. The Government is seeking information to determine whether sources other than the original equipment manufacturer can provide a complete solution meeting the Government’s minimum requirements. This notice is issued for market-research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, request for quotation, or commitment by the Government to award a contract.
