The AN/TPQ-53 is a highly mobile radar set that automatically detects, classifies, tracks, and locates the point of origin of projectiles fired from mortar, artillery, and rocket systems with sufficient accuracy for first round fire for effect. It is deployable as part of the Counter-Rocket Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) system of systems (SoS) to provide a sense and warn capability for fixed and semi-fixed sites. The AN/TPQ-53 provides a net ready system with increased range and accuracy throughout a 90 degree search sector (stare mode) as well as 360 degree coverage (rotating) for locating mortar, artillery and rocket firing positions. The AN/TPQ-53 mission essential capability is transportable by C-17 aircraft with battlefield mobility provided by the family of medium tactical vehicle (FMTV) to support full spectrum operations. a. Full rate production parts production requirements include: obsolescent and spare parts. b. Contractor support services requirements include: program management, systems engineering, testing and reliability, software engineering, testing and integration, information assurance, security, cyber-security, system safety, quality assurance, and configuration management. c. Interim contractor support requirements include: repair activities, command center support, reliability support, training, engineering field support, Field Service Representatives (FSRs) support, logistics product updates (to include but not limited to: Interactive Electronic Technical Publication (IETP) and Repair Part Special Tools List (RPSTL) updates, logistics analysis and demilitarization plan); product updates (to include but not limited to: configuration updates, Government approved engineering change proposals) management and control, test support, component procurement, maintenance and support documentation and diminishing resources/obsolescence management services and update to all pertinent logistics products and support documentation affected by any change to the system. This requirement supports efforts for the AN/TPQ-53 Radar Systems to be operated and maintained to operational and maintenance standards, while safely maintaining an operational availability (Ao) and readiness of the system to a 95% Ao. Execution of these efforts fulfills the Government’s requirement to maintain the operational readiness of the AN/TPQ-53 Radar Systems during Government and test events, as well as ensures the availability of these critical warfighter capabilities to effectively operate and maintain the AN/TPQ-53 Radar Systems produced under the current contract. The ability to execute the requirements contained within the Performance Work Statement (PWS) is dependent upon possessing the knowledge and understanding of the systems technical performance requirements, the system’s software requirements, the system’s configuration requirements, system components, and performance characteristics, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of the system, as well as, the training materials and technical information required for the operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of the AN/TPQ-53 Radar System. Possession of the requisite knowledge in the system’s technical and performance characteristics, system operation, software, maintenance and repair, and how to train and instruct soldiers in the operation and maintenance of the system is critical to accomplishing the Government’s test and other program missions for the AN/TPQ-53 efforts.
