- Description
- The attached sheet compiles questions from several vendors in regards to this Solicitation. Government responses are provided. The following clarifications are provided by the Government on 21 Mar 11 in response to questions from multiple vendors. Also attached in word format for ease of reading. Question #1 Is the government requiring (or is it merely requesting) a system that is ultra low latency, less than (<) 1 sec, in order to overcome this difficulty?" Government Response: In addition-"latency" in the command/control of the hardware and monitoring of the video shall not exceed 100ms". Question #2 Will AES 256 be a requirement added to the current performance specifications? Government Response: 256 bit AES encryption is required. Question #3 Are there any compliance requirements in relation to EMI with a co-located payload on the TARS aerostat? Government Response: Camera system and comm. link must be able to operate, i.e., be interoperable with all TARS equipment and systems. This includes the L-Band L-88A air surveillance radar. TARS should not affect the camera/comm system and the camera/comm system should not affect TARS. It is the Gov't's intent to not have the camera/comm. systems installed in direct line of sight of the transmitting radar antenna; however, they will be within close proximity (only so much real estate on an 420K aerostat). Question #4: Is there a requirement for the transmitter to have an FCC Type ID, or is this going to operate in the military frequency band? Is the equipment going to be operated by military, or is there a requirement for FCC licensing/coordination? Government Response: We are looking for a commercial off the shelf type system that is already FCC approved (there are several 802.11 approved systems out there as well as 802.16 WiMax systems that have been approved). High gain directional antenna for BP station with a high gain omni antenna on the aerostat. Question #5: Please verify the link distance from the Aerostat to the ground station is up to 35km? Government Response: The distance between EGP and the EGP-South BP station is actually 36.2 km. As a result of this modification/amendment the solicitation closing date has hereby been extended to 28 Mar 11; 4pm Eastern. Quotes will be accepted via email only. Submit via email to Karin Walls; ACC AMIC/PKA, karin.walls@langley.af.mil. Fax responses will not be accepted. It is recommended you call to verify your submission has been received by the deadline.
