On July 24, the U.S. Army posted a Request for Information (RFI) for Tactical SIGINT Payload (TSP) for the MQ-1C, Gray Eagle Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). Responses are due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on August 9.
The purpose of the
Market Survey is to update potential sources for the support of the Tactical
SIGINT Payload (TSP) for the MQ-1C, Gray Eagle Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)
which will have the capability to provide immediate support to multiple
deployed theaters.
Interested vendors
shall provide a technical and management approach to meet the requirements and
be able to demonstrate the ability to provide support immediately for the
ongoing requirements for existing and future fielded systems. The source shall
furnish all necessary labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and services to
perform depot level sustainment and forward repair support.
Requirements to
support the TSP system shall include: engineering and logistics support
services for forward operational missions and to sustain TSP systems; technical
services to support TSP integration and testing on the Extended Range Gray
Eagle aircraft; produce and deliver the ordered range quantities of TSP 3U
configuration pods; and engineering services for the development and
implementation of additional capabilities (i.e., exploit new signals of
interest, etc.) to enable the TSP system to remain relevant against emerging
threats.
The TSP system improves the situational awareness of the supported Commander. The system provides the supported unit with a comprehensive picture of electronic emitter within the operating environment and the ability to detect, identify, locate and copy emitters, including targets. The TSP consists of a SIGINT system in an airborne pod controlled via an Operational-Intelligence Ground Workstation (OGS) or via a surrogate Ground Workstation (GWS). The OGS/GWS provides warfighter machine interface (WMI) for payload command and control, displays data to the operator, and interfaces to external networks for external consumption.
