The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, and transportation necessary to assess the LMR network across F.E. Warren AFB and the entire 9,600 sq. ft. missile complex. The primary services include assessing VHF/UHF spectrum propagation to identify all signal 'dead spots,' analyzing the performance of 8 specified repeater sites, and providing electronic signal propagation maps and a comprehensive report on deficiencies and performance recommendations in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS).
