The U.S. Air Force plans to issue a firm-fixed-price contract to procure a commercial testing kit that the military branch can use to evaluate jammers, digital receivers and other electronic warfare technologies.
USAF said Aug. 31 in a FedBizOpps solicitation notice that its research laboratory needs a platform to analyze and record the performance of radio frequency emitters operating at 50 megahertz to 18 gigahertz.
The military branch also wants the EW test set to incorporate automated software designed to simultaneously generate at least eight signals as well as up to 400-MHz instantaneous bandwidth.
The platform must also employ an open data format and enable conversion of emitter waveforms to MATLAB technical computing language for analysis, the Air Force added.
