They must be rugged and operate reliably under austere conditions with environmental extremes of fine particulate dust and temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius and +50 degrees Celsius; be capable of movement over primary, secondary, and un-maintained surfaces. If trailer mounted they must be compatible with standard military vehicles in terms of traffic ability, towing hitch, and power/light connections; be transportable by C-130, C-17, and C-5 aircraft with integrated tie down points sufficient for safe transport and be capable of sling load by military helicopter; be capable of operation using shore power of 230v AC +/- 5 VAC, 50/60 Hz Single phase with on-board power conditioning for operating scenarios where local power is deemed to be dirty; and include a generator which operates on JP8 preferred or diesel fuel to provide electrical power to the system. Preference is for systems which meet the American National Standards Institute ANSI 43-17-2002 standard for radiation dose per scan. They must be capable of operation by no more than two people and include a remote operating capability to a minimum of 500 feet from the system; and shall not be susceptible to electronic interference; or interfere with tactical radio or radar systems. 2 Higher Energy systems may utilize X-ray sources with power levels up to 1.2 Mev or gamma technology with sources at a minimum of 0.75 curies capable of penetrating a minimum of 5.25 inches of homogeneous steel with sufficient resolution to allow a trained operator to identify anomalies based on density and shape with ability to view images in gray-scale and color; inside medium to large size vehicles and cargo containers. Mobile or gantry systems may be required. If mobile, rugged, field deployable motorized or non-motorized preference would be for towed systems. If trailer mounted they must be compatible with standard military vehicles in terms of traffic ability, towing hitch, and power/light connections; be transportable by C-130, C-17, and C-5 aircraft with integrated tie down points sufficient for safe transport and be capable of sling load by military helicopter; be capable of operation using shore power of 230v AC +/- 5 VAC, 50/60 Hz Single phase with on-board power conditioning for operating scenarios where local power is deemed to be dirty; and include a generator which operates on JP8 preferred or diesel fuel to provide electrical power to the system. Preference is for systems which meet the American National Standards Institute ANSI 43-17-2002 standard for radiation dose per scan. If motorized they must be transportable by C-17 and C-5 aircraft with integrated tie down points sufficient for safe transport. Fixed site portal systems must be relocatable within 48 hours excluding transport time. All systems must be capable of operation by no more than three people and include a remote operating capability to a minimum of 500 feet from the system; and shall not be susceptible to electronic interference; or interfere with tactical radio or radar systems. 3 Personnel Scanners must utilize Backscatter X-ray technology to non-intrusively scan people for the presence of explosives, weapons or other contraband. They must meet the American National Standards Institute ANSI 43-17-2002 standard for radiation dose per scan with sufficient resolution to allow a trained operator to identify anomalies based on density and shape with ability to view images of the person being scanned in gray-scale and color. They must be rugged or be capable of being mounted into transportable containers with electrical power and heating and air conditioning capable of operating reliably under austere conditions with environmental extremes of fine particulate dust and temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius and +50 degrees Celsius; be capable of operation using shore power of 230v AC +/- 5 VAC, 50/60 Hz Single phase with on-board power conditioning for operating scenarios where local power is deemed to be dirty; and include a generator which operates on JP8 preferred or diesel fuel to provide electrical power to the system. They must include a remote operating capability to a minimum of 500 feet from the system and shall not be susceptible to electronic interference; or interfere with tactical radio or radar systems. b.The following types of integration will be required as specified in each individual Delivery Order: Integration of the personnel NIIS into ruggedized containers with electricity, heating and air conditioning, and a portal for access/egress; integration of the hardware sets prior to installation at ECPs; and integration of the NIIS and hardware sets into the ECPs. c.
