first part of the RFI incorporates operational characteristics and features
that should be met by the equipment. Some
technical parameters are also mentioned.
The
PSES will be used by the Indian Air Force as a ground based system deployed in
field areas intelligence, early warning, air
defense, and ground and marine surveillance missions. Passive surveillance role will be capable of
generating a comprehensive Air Situation Picture (ASP) with the help of reception and processing of chance reflections
of other transmissions in the RF spectrum.

of Radar transmissions across the complete band of Radar Operation Radio Frequency
bands (70 MHz to 40 MHz),says the RFI.

a ‘No Cost No Commitment’ basis as stipulated in the RFP. A staff evaluation will be carried out by the
IAF to analyse the result of field evaluation and shortlist the vendors.
