- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the upgrade of the Vaisala/SIGMET radar hardware,purchase of a second system and lease specialized software to be used in the TOGA radarto support deployment at sea during the DYNAMO experiment. They will acquire a radardigital receiver and data signal processing system and 'hot swap' spare for the NASA TOGAradar which includes (1) Vaisala/SIGMET RVP900 with Signal Processor Computer, RCP8antenna controller and RVP9 cable interface or equivalent (1 ea.); (2) Vaisala/SIGMET RVP900 with Signal Processor Computer, RCP8 antenna controller or equivalent (1 ea.); (3)Vaisala/SIGMET Digital Automated Frequency Control Unit (1 ea.); (4) Installation, Setupand Calibration. Both units must be fully compatible with the existing Vaisala/SIGMETRVP900 used in the NPOL S-band radar.
