Synopsis:

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Electronic Proving Ground, Fort Huachuca, Arizona is soliciting proposals for the following requirement: 1 each; Global Positioning System (GPS) Satellite Signal Generator. The GPS Satellite signal generator must replicate the GPS satellite signal. STANDARD SYSTEM CONFIGURATONS ARE: (1) Standard single output: L1 C/A and P-codes and M-Noise, 4 to 16 channels. (2) As above but with added L2 carrier plus C/A code or the new L2C code, and/or P(Y) code with 4 to 16 channels making a total of up to 32 channels in a single chassis. (3) Dual RF output each with 4 to 16 channels of GPS at both L1 and L2 with C/A (or L2C code) modulation and P(Y) and M-Noise-dual chassis supporting Differential (DGPS) and relative GPS. (4) Attitude and multi-vehicle or DGPS configurations of up to 4 RF outputs in L1/L2 format (up to 4 chassis with distribution unit). (5) L5 simulation. SELECTIVE AVAILABILITY AND ANTI-SPOOF (SA/A-S) TO INCLUDE: (1) SA dither and epsilon effects on a per-satellite basis. (2) A-S effects on a per-satellite basis. (3) Encrypted NMCT/WAGE data. (4) GPS Wing test vectors for SAASM extended functions. (5) Management of keys needed to enable PPS functions. (6) Classified analysis of recorded GPS Navigation Message data. The PPS functions provided are in accordance with references(b) and (c). Support for SAASM test vectors is in accordance with references (b) and (e). The DS-101 interface provided by the simulator key fill port is in accordance with reference (f). The DS-102 interface provided by the simulator key fill ports is in accordance with reference(g). Keys loaded into the simulator are never exported from the simulator and are never written to the simulator hard disk. A Zeroize function is provided to clear all loaded keys from the simulator. System must be compatible with the Electronic Proving Grounds existing Model GSS4766 Interface Combiner Module. USER INTERFACE: Provided a mouse-driven, point-and-click graphical type supported by on-line, context-sensitive Help facilities. Data selection is made using the mouse with alphanumeric input supplied via the keyboard. TEST SCENARIOS: Test scenarios are prepared by user defined data parameters stored in a scenario files. USER-DEFINED SIMULATED PARAMETERS: Start time and date, Vehicle performance envelope, Antenna placement, and orientation. Vehicle motion commands(Initial position and trajectory definition for all vehicles). GPS constellation definition Antenna reception patterns (Gain and phase). Atmospheric parameters for both the ionosphere from reference a and troposphere. Intentional Satellite clock noise (unclassified Selective Availability). Multipath definition Terrain obscuration.
