1. INTRODUCTION
This document sets forth the operational and technical requirement specifications for a national Communications, Navigation, and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) system for the modernization of Lielvarde Air Force Base (AFB) project. These requirements are mandatory and must be adhered to by the Bidder. Any significant noncompliance with this fundamental requirement would result in disqualification from further consideration.
The overall objective of the Lielvarde AFB CNS/ATM/MET system is to provide the Latvian Air Force (LAF) inter-operability with NATO. Therefore, compliance with applicable ICAO and NATO standards is mandatory.
The systems proposed must be of modern design, demonstrable and whose operation has been field-proven in a NATO-member country in Europe. The Bidder must have upgraded at least three airports in NATO-member countries essentially to the level specified in this document.
Where possible, the total system will be based on modern, high quality, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology.
The Bidder will provide a detailed compliance matrix identifying full compliance, partial compliance (with explanation) or non-compliance based on requirements identified within this tender document and the attached specifications.
