    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, is seeking sources for a new maritime high power Ultra High Frequency (UHF) emitter system to support research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) for aircraft and unmanned systems. The system must address limitations of existing high and low power mobile emitters by providing high effective radiated power (ERP), high duty cycles, and complex pulsed waveforms, with specific technical requirements including a frequency range of 400–500 MHz and pulse repetition frequency of up to 25 kHz. This procurement is critical for enhancing electronic warfare capabilities in maritime environments, and interested businesses are encouraged to submit a capabilities statement to Shannon Canada at shannon.m.canada.civ@us.navy.mil, with the anticipated contract type being Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and delivery expected within one year of contract award. Responses are due by an unspecified deadline, and this notice serves as a market research tool rather than a formal solicitation.

    ART Maritime High Power UHF Emitter System SOW_final.pdf
    The document outlines a Statement of Work (SOW) for a new maritime high power Ultra High Frequency (UHF) emitter system aimed at supporting military research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) for aircraft and unmanned systems. The current high and low power mobile emitter systems exhibit limitations, necessitating a new system capable of high effective radiated power (ERP), high duty cycles, and complex pulsed waveforms. The proposed emitter system is to be permanently installed on a 125-foot boat, equipped with an air-conditioned enclosure and its own power generator. Key technical requirements specify a frequency range of 400–500 MHz, a pulse repetition frequency of up to 25 kHz, pulse widths from 2 to 2000 microseconds, and both frequency and phase modulation capability. Antenna specifications include phased array designs, sector scanning capabilities, and a horizontal beamwidth greater than 6 degrees. Final deliverables must include the completed system, operational manuals, technical drawings, and spare parts for critical components, all to be delivered within one year of contract award. The SOW ensures that the new emitter meets the evolving demands of electronic warfare applications in maritime environments.
