The RAZR Support Contract aims to procure vendor services for the adaptation and integration of a RAZR system at Hill Air Force Base (AFB) to support radar cross-section (RCS) testing for B2 composite flight control surfaces. The vendor will assess the current pylon and rotator equipment, making necessary modifications to ensure compatibility with the RAZR system. If the existing rotator is unsuitable, a replacement will be proposed and installed. The contractor is also responsible for providing operational setups (FUNOPS) and conducting data collection validations.
As part of the contract, the vendor may assist in relocating the RAZR system to a new Composite Aircraft Antenna Calibration Facility (CAACF) by consulting on deployment arrangements and verifying performance post-relocation. The contract includes familiarization efforts for Hill AFB personnel in operating the system, conducting health checks, and developing FUNOPS for both existing and future B2 assets.
Security measures require the vendor to obtain classified access for the B2 program, ensuring compliance with regulations throughout the contract period. Additionally, the document outlines a series of data item deliverables to maintain accountability and accuracy in the reporting process. Overall, this contract is critical to enabling B2 RCS testing and enhancing operational capabilities within the U.S. Air Force.
The RAZR Support Contract for the U.S. Air Force involves contractor services to adapt the Resonant Adaptable Zonal Radar (RAZR) system for radar cross-section (RCS) measurement of B2 aircraft components at Hill Air Force Base (AFB). The contract's primary objectives include evaluating existing pylon and rotator equipment, integrating them with the new RAZR system, and developing functional operational setups (FUNOPS) for data collection. The RAZR will initially operate in Building 1424 and later be relocated to the Composite Aircraft Antenna Calibration Facility (CAACF), expected to be completed by September 2025.
Key components of the contract include familiarizing Hill AFB personnel with RAZR functionalities, adhering to security and environmental requirements, and implementing a robust safety program. The contractor is also responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, quality control, and maintaining security protocols within a potentially hazardous work environment. Overall, this contract focuses on enhancing RCS testing capabilities while ensuring safety, compliance, and effective training for government personnel.
