These materials are vital to the mission of BEAMS (Broadband Emitter Antenna Measurement System) which supports the test and evaluation of the Next Generation Jammer pods that will be used on the EA-18G. This supports the research and integration which BEAMS has already applied with previous purchased WildStar 6 VPX's from Annapolis Micro Systems, Inc. (AMS) on Contract No. N00421-12-P-0969. This equipment is required to support a BEAMS upgrade being managed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in the Avionics Signature and Avionics Measurements (ASAM) branch (5.2.4.2) at the Atlantic Test Range (ATR). BEAMS is a program which supports the Test and Evaluation of the NexGen Jammer (NGJ). AMS has successfully provided reliable equipment to support the ASAM Branch. In addition, the procured system will be used in Test and Evaluation (T&E) aircraft, and must be identical in form/fit/function to these existing units.
