The attached RFQ contains a complete descriptions and applicable provisions and clauses. The BV-3000 pole-mounted blazed array sonar is the only known imaging sonar that meets the requirement. This type of sonar has already been integrated onto the Naval Post Graduates (NPS) ARIES and REMUS underwater vehicles. The BV-3000 uses the same software and sonar arrays as these other NPS vehicles. Therefore, it can produce sonar imagery compatible with NPS image-processing and obstacle avoidance algorithms that currently detect underwater objects from up to 80 meters away. The BV-3000 system includes vertical and horizontal sonar heads to measure the height and width of objects in its field of view and its built-in pan/tilt actuator can be interfaced to the USV autopilot so SeaFox can steer the field of view relative to its trajectory. In this way, the system will be capable of imaging the three-dimensional region surrounding the USV. Finally, the system has telescoping poles that can extend underwater even from the SeaFox transom located about 5 feet above the waterline. Authority is granted under the procedures of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 Other Than Full and Open Competition. This announcement will close at 4:00pm 19 August 2008.
