Description
The Air Force is procuring a commercial‑off‑the‑shelf GPS Satellite Simulator (hardware and accessories) to support the Tactical Data Networks (TDN) Laboratory technology‑refresh. The system must provide high‑rate real‑time GNSS emulation, jamming/spoofing capability, extensive propagation and error modeling, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) support. The solicitation is a sole‑source award to Safran Federal Systems (Talen‑X, Inc.) with a firm‑fixed‑price contract.
• Simulation performance ≥ 1,000 Hz, includes jamming/spoofing, multipath, ionospheric/tropospheric models, and error injection.
• Supports all GNSS constellations (GPS Open, GPS Encrypted, GLONASS) across 32‑3,225 MHz with ≥ 4 transmit channels and 10 MHz/1 PPS inputs.
• Hardware‑in‑the‑loop capability, trajectory import (NMEA, CSV, KML), and optional training for users.
• Sole‑source justification based on unique technical and security requirements; no competition anticipated.
