Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically the Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation for the development of a test program and hardware interface for the PinPoint IIR unit. This requirement supports the overhaul and alignment of F-1542 band pass filters used in surface craft communication systems. The government intends to award this contract on a sole-source basis to Astronics Test Systems. Quotations are due by February 10, 2026.
Scope of Work
The contractor is required to develop a software test program and a physical interface (plug-in) for the SA-2112 CCA (PN 1149530) that is fully compatible with PINPOINT IIR manufacturer systems. Key deliverables include:
- Software Development: A test routine capable of identifying faults in hybrids, components, and connectors, with specific tests for voltage levels and shorts/opens.
- Hardware Interface: A modern interface adapter for the line input module, including a power-on indicator and LEDs for voltage monitoring.
- Documentation & Support: Full documentation for the adapter and software, a spare set of PCBs, and a 12-month warranty on the interface adapter.
- Validation: Final test program validation and demonstration must be conducted at NNSY.
