- the Radar Signal Simulators (RSSs),
- RF Measurement Test Sets (RFMTS),
- Robust Analysis and Scoring System (RASS),
- Integrated Radar Electronic Warfare Test Set (IREWTS), and
- the Measurement and Verification System (MAVS).
The contractor shall provide
highly knowledgeable personnel (i.e. must have previous hands-on
experience on the hardware design, software coding, integration, and
testing of these STE) to perform the necessary work as requested by each
task order. Inherent in providing these goods and services, the
contractor shall provide the supervision and management effort necessary
for the efficient and effective administration and control of the work
to be performed. The contractor shall ensure adequate resources are
dedicated to satisfy the requirements of work assignments.
Capability statements in response to this synopsis are due by 20 January 2015.

The AN/ALQ-161A Defensive Avionics System
on the B-1B bomber is supposed to identify, acquire, and defeat enemy
radars and missiles. It was to be a very sophisticated jamming system,
with 360-degree receive and jamming coverage plus a Tail Warning
Function (TWF) to check six. The Electronic Counter-Measures (ECM)
system would sort threats by priority and react against them
automatically, even recognizing when it might be dangerous to use ECM
and limiting its jamming to specific directions for the minimum required
time. The system had very serious technical problems during its
development, however, resulting in 2 full-scale recovery programs, over
$1 billion invested in fixes, and an acknowledgment that the ALQ-161
would never really meet its original performance specifications. The
system was fielded in the mid-1980s in the Mod 0 hardware configuration,
and several software modifications have improved system performance since then – most recently in the very successful B-1B Block C upgrades

Countermeasures
The B-52H is equipped with a wide range of electronic warfare equipment. The ITT AN/ALQ-172(V)2 electronic countermeasures system features multi-band threat recognition and multiple threat jamming. The AN/ALR-20A radar warning system detects and prioritises multiple threats.
The Northrop Grumman (Litton) AN/ALR-46 digital warning receiver detects radar emissions in the 2GHz to 18GHz band, and can simultaneously identify up to 16 radar signals. Northrop Grumman's AN/ALQ-155 jammer power management system gives 360° coverage in D,E,F,G, and H radar bands.
