- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT - NON-COLLINEAR WAVEFRONT CURVATURE RANGING SENSORS - SOURCES SOUGHT - NON-COLLINEAR WAVEFRONT CURVATURE RANGING SENSORS - The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has identified a need for new sensors that utilize non-collinear wavefront curvature ranging techniques to discern target motion analysis information from transient contacts. This is a synopsis to locate a low cost non-developmental item (NDI) sensor that utilizes techniques, such as time delay of arrival, to determine range, bearing, and depth of a target based on a single transient intercept. This sensor should have a proven record of success in laboratory and at sea tests. This sensor shall be able to interface with existing active intercept and ranging technology and software. This sensor shall be able to utilize collinear and non-collinear wavefront curvature ranging (hyperbolic multilateration) signal analysis techniques and personnel involved in the test and analysis of this program shall! have demonstrated a level of expertise in the fields of collinear and non-collinear wavefront curvature ranging (hyperbolic multilateration). This program shall have a relative phase delay between sensors of at maximum 200 nanoseconds. Sensors used to fulfill the needs of this program shall have embedded electronics to provide synchronized simultaneous sampling between sensors. This program will be tested for acceptance and applicability to the US Navy utilizing the Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) program. It is expected that based on a positive result of the FCT, this product will be procured by NAVSEA for insertion into the fleet. Interested parties having the required specialized capabilities to meet all of the above pr opposed 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. Offerors should describe at a m! inimum their manufacturing capability, test equipment, expertise in the area of hyperbolic multilateration dilution of precision, hydrophone modeling, triangulation, and test facilities, which should accommodate the testing of the sensor system. Responses are required to include the firm name, mailing address, telephone and facsimile numbers, World Wide Web (Internet) presence (if any), size of firm, number of years providing similar level of complexity products, and direct points of contact including phone and e-mail addresses. Only written responses transmitted electronically, by mail, or facsimile will be accepted. The Government will not provide payment for information provided in response to this synopsis, nor will the Government return any data provided. All data will be for official Government use only. The Government will not provide the data received from one responder to other potentially competitive organizations. A list of interested parties will be compiled from! the firms who respond to this announcement. Firms that wish to be included on the interested parties list must be able to, as a minimum, 1) access the World Wide Web; 2) send and receive unclassified e-mail; and 3) access, download, and print solicitation documents from Internet websites. All firms that provide clear and concise evidence that they can meet all of the minimum requirements shall be included on the interested parties list. It is highly recommended that all interested firms frequently access the NAVSEA Contracts Directorate Website for updates and release of additional solicitation information. Responses to this announcement should be received in this office NO LATER THAN 4:00 P.M. (EST) on 01 APRIL 2005. Please direct all responses to the attention of Chris Pigott (SEA 02623, fax number (202)781-4773 or e-mail christopher.pigott@navy.mil). This sources sought announcement is for informational and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a solicitation an! d should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. This is not an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quotations (RFQ), or a Request for Proposals (RFP). NOTE(S): (1) This amendment is being issued to: (a) change the due date for responses from 11 March 2005 to 01 April 2005; and, (b) modify the technical requirements to allow multiple inboard sensor processing systems and to include sensor phase sampling requirements. (2) As was stated in the version of this announcement published on 03 March 2005, this announcement is the reissuance of an announcement released in April 2004. Since almost a year has passed since the release of the previous announcement and this project has not been initiated as yet, the Government wants to insure it has an up to date understanding of the options that are available to fulfill the above described requirements. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (10-MAR-2005); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
