- Description
- Sole source procurement to Single Chip Systems Corporation, San Diego, California, for the purchase of objective Radio Frequency Identification/Temperature Sensing Transponders and compatible Reader/Writers to support Government Qualification Testing. The Government anticipates awarding a firm fixed price type contract. The period of performance for this effort will be not later than 30 June 2003. The contractor shall supply man-hours, materials, and facilities to: modify, redesign, develop and produce a transponder operating at the specified frequency, a Reader/Writer (Reader) capable of verification of transponder function and writing data to the transponder memory during Qualification testing. Deliverables shall include 1800 transponders; three prototype readers to support testing, software for test Readers, software development kit, objective script or source code for control software. The effort is the fabrication of the objective transponder and compatible Reader/Writer to be used during the Qualification Test. The 155MM M231/M232 propelling charges known as MACS (Modular Artillery Charge System) are two different propelling charges, each to contain a radio frequency identification/temperature measuring transponder, designed and developed at Picatinny Arsenal which provide a complete zoning solution for 155MM artillery applications by using multiples of a basic increment. The transponder electronically provides the Reader, when queried, the increment type, lot number, temperature and other data stored in its memory. The Reader consists of an antenna, electronics modules (transmitter, receiver, encoder, decoder, data converter, computer interface) a power supply, cabling and computer. The M231 increment(s) is (are) used at lower zones (Zones 1 & 2), while the M232 increments are used at higher zones (Zones 3 thru 6). Both the M231 and M232 increments are based on the classical XM230 Unicharge design; i.e., bi-directional center core ignition, granular propellant contained in a rigid combustible cartridge case, etc., however, the M231 and M232 have design differences. All M231 increments are identical allowing them to be interchangeable (likewise with the M232). The 155MM MACS propelling charge increments will be capable of being handled by automatic loading/resupply equipment and also manually, which allows MACS to be used with currently fielded howitzers and future planned artillery systems.
