Framework agreement regarding supply of SATCOM-on-the-move terminals and related services
The aim of this framework agreement is to provide the Danish Army with a number of full-motion mobile Ka-band SOTM (SATCOM-On-The-Move) satellite terminals to expand the current mobile tactical beyond line of sight (BLOS) communication capability using WGS (Wideband Global SATCOM) satellites.
The SOTM terminals will be used on at least 4 different types of wheeled vehicles: Eagle IV, Piranha 3, Piranha 5 and the Mercedes Benz GD270. The number of terminals per vehicle type is not fixed but depends on the current mission scenario. Each SOTM terminal shall be supplied as a complete integrated stand-alone satellite system including, but not limited to, pedestal, antenna, antenna control unit, RF subsystems, Gyro/Inertial Reference Unit, GPS, protecting radome, and possibly an external modem. It must be possible to monitor and control the terminal from an operator PC provided by DALO.
The terminal will be used to maintain BLOS connection between the local mission area network and the Danish Defence integrated network via WGS. Both networks are 100 Megabit Ethernet networks using the TCP/IP network protocol. The type of communication includes video, voice and data at rates up to 2 Mbps duplex. Danish Defence uses a star network topology with point-to-point satellite connections. Mesh network topology is not a requirement. Each SOTM connection will be anchored at Airbase Karup, Denmark on either a 9 m Ka-band terminal or a 9 m X-band terminal (WGS satellites support Ka/X cross-band connections).
The antenna will be deployed on off-road military vehicles and must support operation in all geographical areas and corresponding climate zones excluding the Arctic and Polar regions. A wide spectrum of terrain types must be supported including desert, tundra, mountains, forest and jungle. The Churchville B mobile vehicle conditions are the anticipated most extreme operational conditions. The antenna system must be able to maintain a high pointing accuracy even in GPS denied environments.
The proposed system configuration must be permanently authorized to operate on the WGS system on the Ka- band. At the time of offer submission the Supplier must present formal WGS certification letters for the terminal and modem signed by USASMDC/ARSTRAT.
The Supplier shall deliver materials and services necessary for the vehicle installation and integration of the SOTM terminals, including documentation, training courses and initial spare parts. Furthermore, the framework agreement includes services as repair services, help desk and delivery of additional spare parts.
Under the framework agreement the buyer will commit to purchase a minimum of three SOTM terminals (without modems). Beyond this, the buyer shall not be obliged to purchase any minimum quantity of deliverables.
