INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The primary objective of the Advanced Navigation Simulation Environment Laboratory (ANSEL) acquisition effort is to obtain comprehensive engineering, technical, and integration support to modernize the Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) and Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) simulation capabilities within the Holloman AFB PNT Simulation Laboratory. This effort replaces obsolete equipment and outdated software within the Navigation Test and Evaluation Laboratory (NavTEL) to establish a state-of-the-art testing environment.
See attached RWP letter for details.
NOTE: The Statement of Objectives (SOO) for this effort is marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). To request access to the SOO, please email your CAGE to haley.smith.10@us.af.mil. Once NIST/CMMC status is confirmed, the docuement will be sent via DoD SAFE.
The performer will perform system lifecycle engineering including Requirements Review, Preliminary Design Review and Critical Design Review, then procure, fabricate and assemble one integrated ANSEL unit in modular 19-inch racks with casters, install and interface the system in the secure NavTEL facility, validate RF paths and phase coherence, and conduct Factory Acceptance Testing, Site Acceptance Testing, Functional Configuration Audit and Physical Configuration Audit including automated system-level phase calibration, with deliverables spanning design packages, facility requirements, hardware, test plans and reports, and training and closeout.
