- Description
- NASA/GSFC/Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) has a requirement for the The Command and Control Technologies (CCT) TelSim all-in-one Telemetry simulation extension for the existing Wallops Research Range Control Center (RCC) Range and Data Acquisition (RADAC) system (developed by CCT Corporation) is designed to solve mission simulation, telemetry ground systems testing, and training needs in a turnkey package. It can be configured for anything from simple pattern generation to interactive modeling or real-time automated control sequences. TelSim provides dynamic real-time telemetry simulation using automated reactive control via simple user interaction. Operations and test personnel can enhance systems readiness without impacting availability of operational assets, accommodating a full range of realistic nominal and non-nominal mission scenarios. The TelSim provides real-time generation of complex serial data streamer, including IRG 106 compliant telemetry. Its capable of fully independent operation that can be plugged-in to any telemetry ground station as a headless server, or with a fully interactive multi-user graphical user interface. CCT Corporation is the only known source capable of providing the TelSim real-time dynamic simulation capability in a modular and customized software extension TelSim is currently the only commercially available system of its kind and the design in proprietary to CCT Corporation. TelSim is a unique, multipurpose and configurable, software tool that will extend the capabilities of the Wallops Range Control Center RADAC system. CCT TelSim is a fully integrated simulation environment that can model the continuous or discrete behavior of any external system. Dynamic data is commutated into a telemetry transmission stream in real-time. Mission scenarios are easily defined and organized. TelSim will be able to support all phases of testing and training for ground systems test and verification and end-to-end mission simulations and dress rehearsals. The TelSim modeling engine allows a systems engineer to quickly create interactive models using a point and click GUI or high level scripting language. Included programming libraries support the integration of third party models.TelSim enables simulations to be scalable in fidelity so they can operate alone, or integrate with other models to create large-scale mission simulations. TelSim also supports telemetry acquisition, processing, and recording for mission playback and replay of post decom data with simulation models. TelSim features a real-time and user configurable variable time engine, simulation modules: measurements (sensors/data waveforms), commands, events as well as built-in configurable simulation waveform modules control: sample rate, amplitude, offset, period, bias, and delay, among others. Capabilities also include simulation module operation and command module which evaluates a procedure, script, or function upon command receipt and an event module that is initiated by a synch trigger or condition including time, commands, or other groups behaviors. TelSim can provide external time sync or internal simulation time generation and has an open interface for integration of MATLAB and other third party analysis tools. User defined modules: based on TcL, C, or C++ returns a simulated value based on user defined algorithm and delimited modules: allows non-linear data or previously recorded data to be played from a file. This system will serve as a real-time telemetry simulator for Wallops in the Range Control Center. NASA/GSFC/Wallops Flight Facility intends to purchase the items from CCT Corporation in accordance with 6.302-1(a)(1) 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) - only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on August 6, 2012. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html
