Description

The objective of the Joint Tactical Radio System Maritime Fixed (JTRS-M/F) Cluster 3 program is to develop a Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) specifically for maritime and fixed site communication requirements. The purpose of the development effort is to create the next generation of Maritime and Fixed Site Communication system which shall provide growth capabilities through an open system architecture that enables technology insertion through evolutionary acquisition or preplanned product improvements (P3I). JTRS-M/F shall be a multi-mode, multi-band, software definable radio system. This will result in increased operational flexibility, enhanced interoperability and reduce life cycle cost. JTRS-M/F will be capable of transmitting voice, video, and data while operating in frequency bands from 2 MHz to 2000 MHz. In order to facilitate an orderly and cost-effective migration from legacy systems, the new JTRS-M/F shall maintain backward compatibility with selected legacy systems and provide a seamless technological transition path to support the next generation radio room. The JTRS-M/F will be defined as a complete end-to-end communications system with a combination of hardware elements, supporting software infrastructure, and government furnished waveform applications. This system will include all RF distribution and control equipment to support voice, video, and data communications. The JTRS Program is a series of related but independent joint acquisitions. The Army is the Service Acquisition Executive (SAE) for the joint activities executed by the JTRS Joint Program Office (JPO). The JPO is responsible for defining, developing, validating, and maintaining the Software Communication Architecture (SCA) and acquiring software waveform applications. The JTRS-M/F (Cluster 3) Program Manager (Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, PMW 179) is responsible for developing JTRS-M/F hardware (with a SCA-compliant operating environment) and porting waveforms obtained from the JTRS JPO waveform repository to field the JTRS-M/F as a final consolidated product in support of the Fleet. The key goals of the system are to ensure maximum scalability, modularity, and extensibility across all ship classes and fixed site platforms. This Federal Business Opportunities announcement invites potential offerors to nominate no more than two (2) representatives to participate in escorted visits of U.S. Navy warships. This visit is tentatively scheduled for 3 February 2003 between 9:00 AM ? 4:00 PM in San Diego, CA. The primary purpose of this event is to provide potential JTRS-M/F offerors information on the configuration of communication spaces on Navy warships for use in development of offerors? responses to impending the JTRS-M/F RFI and RFP. Total participation in this event will be limited to thirty (30) industry representatives, with preference given on a first come-first serve basis. The ship visits will be for U.S. citizens only. Foreign nationals will not be allowed to participate in the ship visits. Due to the nature of the shipboard working environment, business casual attire is recommended for this event. It is recommended that ladies refrain from wearing skirts and heels. Lunch will not be provided during the duration of the visit.
