67 -- 70MM HIGH SPEED, MAGAZINE LOAD, INSTRUMENTATION CAMERA AND FILM DATA RECORDING SYSTEMS SOL MDA113-96-R-0059 DUE 090496 POC Contact Bill Gilmore, (909)413-2412, FAX (909)413-2432; Contracting Officer, Isabella Dunham, (909)413-2411 This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12-6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. MDA113-96-R-0059 is being issued as a request for proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 90-38. This acquisition will be sole source to Photo-Sonics, Inc., 820 South Mariposa St., Burbank, CA 91506-3196 and is a small business set-aside. All responsible small businesses are invited to submit proposals. The SIC code is 3861 and the size standard is 500 employees. The Television-Audio Support Activity (T-ASA) intends to buy seven (7) Photo-Sonic Film Data Recording Systems (FDRS) Model 70-1800 and six (6) Photo-Sonics Model 10-ML High Speed 70MM Instrumentation Cameras for installation on seven Government-owned Contraves Corporation model Kineto Tracking Mounts (KIM) in support of optical instrumentation of space and ballistic missile launches at Vandenberg AFB CA. The FDRS is a modular system consisting of a camera head driver assembly, a data processor controller, and a display/keyboard module that is used with high speed instrumentation motion picture and video cameras. Contract includes installation, documentation, training, and system checkout. The system prints azimuth, elevation, range distance, and IRIG time data on each frame of film and annotates equivalent information on video imagery. The FDRS shall accept time, space and position information (TPSI) from a Contraves KIM tracking mount, format the data, send it to three film cameras and one video camera. The film cameras can be any combination of the following: Photo-Sonics 1PL, 4ML, 4EL, 10RL and 10ML. The video cameras will be standard NTSC compliant Betacam SP format or 60 Hz RS-170. The FDRS will contain a camera head driver in a ruggedized cast aluminum case which accepts formatted serial data from the processor/controller and generates a multiplexed drive output to the LED film print head inside the camera. The command to send the data from the camera head driver is triggered by the shutter correlation pulse assembly in the camera. The FDRS must be integrated with the tracking mount electronics to prevent data bus conflicts, insure integrity of the TPSI data and provide for data delivery on request to the camera head driver of all cameras specified above. FDRS must be capable of supplying data to four cameras simultaneously with all cameras running at different frame rates. The FDRS will be exposed to, and must operate in a coastal climate with fog, rain, condensing humidity, and salt air. The system will be on a mobile mount and will be towed over unimproved roads. FDRS must contain the following features: compatibility with cameras mentioned above; equipped with a hand-held remote terminal for use in calibrating system prior to use with a provided keyboard and display to confirm set-up parameters, along with a RS-232 serial port with software to support remote set-up in hazardous areas; must provide for phase locking of all cameras to IRIG (inter-range instrumentation group) time code; must have a 27 bit binary parallel input port for azimuth, elevation, and range data in human readable alpha numeric characters; must be compatible with IRIG time code formats in IRIG Standard 200-95; must drive at least 30 kilobaud high speed data link which outputs required data and will calculate trajectory and TPSI data from real time mission inputs; must have single twisted wire pair to transmit data to camera head driver; electronic circuits printed on circuit boards and conformal coated to protect from condensing humidity (wire wrap designed circuits are not acceptable). The 70mm cameras operate on 115 VAC power supplied from the tracking mount and are equipped with removable film magazines that hold 400 feet of 70mm film. Contains a built in heater, an FDRS driver assembly, illuminated fiducials, adjustable shutter with shutter correlation pulse, film magazine, boresite tool, FDRS data head, carrying case and three (3) lenses. FDRS will be delivered to Vandenberg AFB, CA within 90 days of contract award. 70mm cameras will be delivered to the same location within on year of closing date specified above and must contain separate unit pricing for each item required.
