Description

The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) Edwards AFB, CA. is seeking a supplier of data acquisition system components to support several test programs that are currently executing flight test or are scheduled to be undergoing flight test in the near future. The primary programs that will be supported by this supplier are the F-16 Foreign Military Sales Projects, F-22 Advanced Fighter Program, F35 Joint Strike Fighter Program, B-1 Bomber Flight Test Program, and the USAF Test Pilot School Program. The Airborne Data Acquisition System shall be a highly advanced general-purpose flight test instrumentation system specifically designed for aerospace application. The data acquisition system shall use the standard Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) bus in its design. The basic system shall consist of a programmable controller unit which communicates with analog and digital remote units via a high speed (CAIS) bus using command response topology. The remote units shall handle a large number of widely diversified data sources which include low and high level analog signals, auto gain ranging, as well as monitoring and data collection of numerous digital communication buses to include at a minimum; MIL STD 1553A/B, ARINC 429, RS422, RS485, Ethernet, IEEE-1394, and ASM Copper/Glass Fibre Channel. The system must comply with all Range Commanders Council (RCC) Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) standards (IRIG 106-3 including Ch 10 for recording.) The system shall include programmable gain and offset for analog signal with signal filtering available, and it should be capable of generating multiple data output formats. All output formats will be In Accordance With (IAW) IRIG 106. The components must be compatible in form, fit and function, with Teletronics Technology Corporation Model# 's MDAU-2000, MEDAU2000, and MRTM2048C. The system must have the capability through Internal Research and Development (IRD) to support the flight test instrumentation community with the latest in interface technology such as: (1) fibre channel, (2) Ethernet, (3) fire-wire (IEEE-1394b), (4) universal serial bus (USB), (5) RS-485, and (6) RS-232/422. In addition, the system must be compatible with units already installed in F-22 Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) Flight Test Program, numerous F-16 USAF and Foreign Military Sales Development Projects including F-16 Peace Crown, F-16 Peace Marble, and F16 Block 60 UAE; USAF sustainment programs like the B-1, C-130J, C-5, F-117, and U-2 projects; USAF Test Pilot School aircraft and projects; and additional USAF developmental projects anticipated to be supported include Small Diameter Bomb development, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) System Development and Demonstration project, and the CV-22 Tilt Rotor aircraft. 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 April 30, 2004. 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. Technical questions may be directed to Mr. Mike Golackson, at 661-275-4398. Contractor must be registered with Central Contractor Registration to be eligible for contact award or payment from any DOD activity. Information on registration and annual confirmation requirements may be obtained by calling 1-888-227-2423, or via the Internet at http://ccr.edi.disa.mil
