1.0 Description of Services
1.1 Objective(s): This Performance-based Work Statement (PWS) describes the services required to test the APN-241 Radar. These services include getting the GFE cards installed and tested to go from the radar only showing 5 bands of color for how much rainfall is coming to 14 bands.
1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF): This acquisition will benefit the USAF by providing warfighters with an advanced weather radar system allowing for them to be able to fly through heavier rainfall, through installation of the GFE cards.

1.3 Background:
The MC-130J is currently testing the US Army Silent Knight (SKR) that is designed to
ight RADAR (SKR
enable clandestine ingress/egress via Terrain Following/Terrain (TF/TA). There is a
g/Terrain Avoidance
Avoidan (T
spec requirement for the SKR to perform in a Low Probability of Intercept Intercep mode as well as
penetrate a 10 mm/hr rate of rainfall. There is currently rrently
ently no way to test and
a validate that the SKR
can perform this function. The MC-130J is replacing
Talon II that had this

capability but has since been retired leavingg a significant capability capa
capabilit gap in AFSOC. The WC130J version of the APN-241 allows aircrew crew to divide the rain rrate spectrum for the APN-241
into 14 bands versus the normal 5. This
