70 -- IMAGERY COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE SOL N00164-97-R-0181 DUE 100197 POC Ms. Hilda Quillen, Procurement Technician, Code 1164EJ, telephone 812-854-2422, fax 812-854-5666, e-mail quillen_ h@crane.navy.mil E-MAIL: Click here to request hard copy of solicitation, quillen_h@crane.navy.mil. The Navy requires a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 330 copies of Imagery Communications Software (ICS) which will provide the capability to receive, compress, annotate, manipulate, print, store and transmit imagery data in near-real-time. The Out-Station ICS shall be capable of image acquisition from TWAIN compliant Digital Cameras such as the Kodak DCS 3 Digital Camera. The TWAIN interface shall be capable of utilizing both SCSI and PCMCIA interfaces for image acquisition. The ICS features shall include compression/decompression, zoom, image rotation, annotation and cropping. The annotation shall be non-destructive and at minimum consist of time, date, location (Lat/Long or UTM) and 20 characters of text. The software shall provide for "Function keys" for all primary functions such as image acquisition, saving, compression, transmission and exit/shutdown. The compression of the image shall consist of selectable ratios to shorten the transmission time or provide some other means for equivalent image transmission time reduction. The image compression shall be a minimum of 1:400. The software shall be capable of transmitting the compressed image utilizing the internal synchronous communications board of Litton Data Systems Handheld Terminal Unit over MIL-STD-188 compliant tactical communication equipment. The communications equipment shall include but not limited to AN/PRC-104, AN/PRC-119, AN/PRC-117, KY-99 and KY-57. The software shall provide transmission control of dissemination and receipt of images over single channel radio at maximum burst rate of 5 seconds and total transmission time not to exceed 5 minutes. The software shall be capable of error correction and retransmission schemes in a event of an error. The Base Station ICS shall be cable of receiving the image from the Out Station beyond the line of sight via MIL-STD-188 compliant tactical communication. It shall provide the control and the input and output interfaces needed to transmit and receive images (as required) over the communications equipment. It shall be capable of manipulating, compressing/decompressing, archiving and printing the imagery transmitted from the Out Station. The software shall be capable of manipulating images with features such as cropping, rotate, negative inverse, zoom, grayscale, mensuration, sharpen, filter, brightness, contrast, etc. It shall be capable of annotating images with time, day, date, location (Lat/Long or UTM) and text. The software shall also be capable of image compression/decompression and error correction. The software shall be capable of accepting, formatting, transmitting and receiving images in MIL-STD-2500 National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) 2.0. The Base Station ICS must also have NITF 2.0 certification. A product sample will be required with each offer to determine compliance with the technical specifications. Delivery will be required F.o.B. Crane within 60 days of Delivery Order issuance. See Notes 12 and 26. All responsible offerors may submit an offer which shall be evaluated by the agency. (0219)
