- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT - COMMUNICATION LINK TO SUBMERGED PLATFORMS - The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has identified a need for a non-developmental item (NDI) submerged platform communication improvement to allow communications between submerged platforms, equipped with the Underwater Communication System (UCS) system utilizing the Hydro Acoustic Information Link (HAIL) or equivalent technology, and surface, air, and space assets. This improvement must allow the submerged platform to communicate with surface, air, and space assets while the submerged platform is at speed and depth and no changes can be made to any surface, air, or space asset. Due to the need to communicate between multiple platforms from multiple nations, the system must utilize the HAIL technology or be compatible (i.e., able to interface) with HAIL technology to ensure interoperability with current US Navy tech nology in use on US submerged platforms. Interested parties having the required specialized capabilities to meet all of the above proposed requirements should submit to Mr. Chris Pigott, SEA 02623, a two (2) page (maximum) typed expression of interest/capability statement indicating their ability to perform all aspects of the efforts described above.
