- Description
- The Office of Naval Research, Expeditionary Warfare Operations Technology Division (ONR 353) will be soliciting proposals for a miniture digital data link for the Dragon Eye UAV System. The Dragon Eye currently employs an analog data link for sending commands from the Ground Control Station (GCS) to the Air Vehicle (AV), and for sending telemetry and video back from the AV to the GCS. This link has shortcomings including using a frequency band with poor worldwide availability, short range, and easy interception and exploitation by opposing forces. The effort that will be described in the Statement of Work (SOW) will be to develop a prototype miniature digital data link for application to the Dragon Eye UAV that will address the shortcomings of the current analog link, build two examples of the prototype system, and confirm its functionality by test and demonstration. The prototype system is intended to closely resemble a production-ready item: the prototype will be designed to provide not only the functionality of a production item, but also the interfaces required for integration into the Dragon Eye system, including form factor, mass properties, and environmental compatibility. However, actual integration of the data link into the Dragon Eye system is not within the scope of this effort, nor is qualification testing to verify environmental requirements. In accordance with FAR 5.203, the request for proposals (RFP) will be attached to this presolicitation notice on 20 April 2004. The RFP will also be available on ONR's web site, www.onr.navy.mil/02/rfps.asp on 20 April 2004. Once the solicitation is made available, all questions MUST be submitted via e-mail to the point of contact identified in this announcement.
