Request for Information – High Gain Directional Antenna

This Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS)/Request for Information (RFI) is issued for informational purposes and market research only; it does not constitute a solicitation. The Government will not reimburse any company or individual for any expenses associated with preparing/submitting information in response to this posting. The information provided may be used by the Government in developing its acquisition strategy, statement of work/statement of objectives, and/or performance specifications.

Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained within their response as instructed later in this posting.

The United States (US) Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Special Warfare (SW) Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN) is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of providing a single or multiple high gain directional antennas to extend Line of Site (LOS) distances of currently fielded waveforms on the AN/PRC-163 radios frequency band.

The antenna(s) should be paired with Trellisware (TSM-X MANET) to enable superior mesh network connectivity and distances. Particular attention must be made to the frequency band, polarization, impedance, voltage standing wave ratio, and gain. See Attachment for capability requirements and additional information.
