Description

The Air Armament Center, Eglin AFB, FL, intends to solicit and award a firm-fixed price contract for nine (9) Octec model ADEPT 36 Video Trackers. Anticipated award date is 13 November 2000. All responses must be received in this office no later than 4:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, 9 November 2000. The following are the required specifications: 1. Video Inputs: at least two each composite video; 1.0 V p-p, 625-625 line, CCIR or RS170; 2. Video Digital Input:: 1 ea., format: 12-bit standard, speed 310MHz; sensor compensation shall maintain 4 independent sensor configurations, parameters for each include video input, video standard, video processing, video output source and FOV; frames rates 3 120Hz; 3. Video Output: at least 2 each composite video 1.0 V p-p into 75 ohms, 1 each with symbology, 1 ea. No annotation. 4. Auto-detect mode: movable to any FOV position, variable from at least 2%-90% of the FOV; tracker provides five target discrimination parameters that can be selected (aspect ratio, size, speed, direction, nearest to boresight); 5. Auto-detect algorithm: number of targets is typically two with selectable discriminants; position shall consist of medium cross and numeric tag display for each target detected; 6. Track mode: track window position, moveable to any FOV position in during any track mode; 7. Track Window Size: variable from at least 2%-90% of the FOV in the manual or adaptive modes; 8. Track Preprocessor -- selectable statistical enhancement threshold modes to at least include: positive (white), negative (black), mixed (white and black), auto polarity. 9. Track Algorithms: at least Centroid, Correlation, Selectable Edge 10. Platform filters: 2 axis PID filters, rate demand or position error output. Each filter network shall consist of the following compensation elements: FOV compensation, compensation filters, output scaling, deadband compensation, drift compensation and coast. Joystick input: shall be analog input or the command interface; 11. Boresight: reference for the determination of the track errors. Moveable for offset tracing; 12. Breaklock/Coast: automatic track loss detection and re-acquisition following breaklock; 13. Symbology: Monochrome, selectable detection/tracting window status banner, boresight cross, aim-point marker, target cueing, diagnostic BIT. Detect Threshold Symbology: shall provide indication of current setting of detection "Offset" value, and current scene peak intensity; 14. Performance: Minimum target contract at least L 3%, noise on target position output at least < 1 TV line (3 sigma); BIT: Built in Test function shall have fault detection > 95%; BIT duration shall be < 5 seconds; BIT result shall be reported to the status interface and displayed in video symbology, target to boresight error update rate on analog video at least 50Hz, target to boresight error latency (measured with respect to the target center in video image): < 15ms; 15. Serial Interface: at least 2 channels (RS232 or RS422) asynchronous, up to 38,400; 16. Reliability: the AVT shall have predicted MTBF of > 10,000 hours as calculated per MIL-HDBK-217F June, 1992; 17. Mechanical: AVT shall be no more than two single board double Euro VMEbus format; required when AVT is used as stand alone processor in system host backplane. Chassis: separate chassis is required in a 2U high 19-inch rack mount case, containing 3 slot VMEbus backplane to accommodate AVT and two spare slots for customer components. Back panels connectors shall be provided for all video inputs/outputs, serial/analog interfaces, remote control interface and 115/230 Volt AC power. 18. The video tracker shall have the facility to inject two synthetic targets into the analog input video image as seen by the internal tracker processes and the external video output. The targets are objects of user definable shape, position, size and intensity. The target sizes are defined in pixels and target intensities as absolute grey levels. Dependent on the state of each target's Real-World enable control, the target position can be controlled in one of four ways: . Screen position: the target is placed at a specified position . Screen velocity: the target is moved at a specified screen velocity. To keep the target within the field of view it will "bounce" at the edges of the screen plus a user-defined margin. . Real world position: the targets are placed relative to the LOS Position. If the LOS Positions are updated the targets will be placed appropriately, otherwise the LOS positions will be reset to zero and the targets placed relative to the image boresight. . Real world velocity: The targets are initially placed at the LOS position. Thereafter the targets are moved at the specified real world velocity and placed relative to the LOS position. If the LOS positions are updated, the targets will be placed appropriately, otherwise the LOS positions will be reset to zero and the targets placed relative to the image boresight. Many of the missions at Eglin require the tracking of smaller and faster items at higher altitudes. The video tracker will greatly enhance coverage (data) of Cine and KTM tracking missions at Eglin. These Video Trackers are needed for the flight testing of SFW, Wind Corrected and Extended Range projects at Eglin. The Video Trackers will also be required in future testing with the Offshore Tracking System (OSTS), ASTE and Mixed Expendables projects. Four (4) of the nine (9) video trackers must be made available to us no later than mid January 2001 to support new and existing projects. The government will consider all responses received within 15 days of the publication of this notice. The appropriate NAICS Code for this acquisition is 334220, with a small size standard of 750 employees (former SIC Code: 3663). Please identify your business size in your response, based upon this standard. The government reserves the right to create a small business set-aside for this acquisition depending upon the responses received to this announcement. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Questions shall be submitted electronically to Robin L. Gibson, Contract Specialist: Robin.Gibson@eglin.af.mil.
