- Description
- This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the Internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to procure through full and open competition the development of a single Common Robotic Controller (CRC) that will operate unmanned tactical aerial vehicles, unmanned tactical ground vehicles, and a network of tactical netted, hand-emplaced, unmanned sensors. Minimum and desired performance characteristics for an acceptable CRC will be provided in the solicitation. The CRC will be used as the control station for the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab sponsored Tactical Networked Sensor Suite (TNS2) initiative. The TNS2 is a concept demonstration initiative to use the unmanned/autonomous sensors developed and demonstrated under the SUSS, TUSS, and MOWC initiatives with other UAS, UGV, and tactically hand emplaced sensors in a networked architecture. It will also demonstrate sensor cueing and offer the user a choice of multiple sensors that can quickly and easily be chosen, configured and deployed using the CRC! as a common control system. The TNS2 is targeted for USMC company, platoon, and squad operations. The CRC shall be comprised of a computing subsystem, an operator interface, a communication subsystem, and a power subsystem. The CRC shall provide a common Command and Control (C2) platform with an open architecture and standardized interface to command and control various Aerial, Ground, and Hand Emplaced sensors to include but not limited to: Aerial - Raven B, Wasp, Switchblade; Ground - Dragon Runner, MAARS; Hand Emplaced - SUSS, MAGTUSS, VISTUSS. The CRC shall communicate to other CRC's through a wireless network. The CRC shall be a self contained unit that can be worn and operated by a Marine while foot mobile. The CRC shall not weight over 8 pounds and operate for at least 2 hours before having to replace or recharge the power source. The CRC shall communicate to the deployed sensors through a communications module via a Government defined interface. STANAG 4586 and JUAS V3.3 standards shall be objective interface standards of this initiative. This synopsis is directly related to Sources Sought Notice N00178-08-Q-1910 issued on 29 August 2008. A cost-plus-fixed-fee term-type contract is anticipated. The period of performance will be three years consisting of a Base Period of one year (CLIN 0001) and two one-year options (CLIN 0003 and 0005). The place of performance shall be at the contractor's site, NSWCDD, MCB Quantico, and tests sites TBD. The North American Industry Classification System Code is 541512. The anticipated solicitation date is 16 March 2009. The anticipated due date for proposals is 15 April 2009. The anticipated contract award date is 1 June 2009.
