The Air Force, Edwards Air Force Base, CA intends to award a Sole Source purchase order to MICROBEE SYSTEMS INC. 21723 N MEADOWVIEW CT, Colbert, WA. The Sole Source purchase will be for the following items: MODEL: HG 1700 Precision Base with PC/104 ADAN Compatible SDLC Communication Interface, Quantity 11 each; Description: 1. The Requirement is for 11 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) fixtures that include a specific PC-104 base plate and stackable frame and a PC-104 compliant Interface Unit (IU) mounted in a separate stackable PC-104 frame, Contractor Part Number IMU-1700-104, and 2 empty frames, Contractor Part Number IMU-1700-BASE. 2. Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Fixture Requirements The Contractor shall mount an HG1700-AG58 unit on this base unit within a PC-104 frame of minimum height. The Contractor shall mount the IMU to the base plate with the IMU axes aligned with the base plate axes. If alignment cannot be performed to within 0.01 degrees, the alignment error must be measured and reported for each unit; 3 Interface Unit (IU) Requirements The IU shall be designed to perform without failure under a normal industrial temperate range. The IU shall include conformal coating, shall accept a TTL-level-1 Hz timing signal, which it shall use for timing purposes and also feed to a selectable IRQ on the PC-104 bus. The IU shall include an interface to the HG1700-AG58 IMU for the purposes of providing unit power and collecting measurements, shall include a general-use RS-422 asynchronous serial port that is accessible through the PC-104 bus and able to share an interrupt line with other ports, shall accept Type 1 and Type 2 messages from the IMU, shall time-tag the measurements with fractions of second to an accuracy of 1 microsecond and shall include a bus-level interface to provide measurement and timing information to a GFE computer in the PC-104 stack. This can be either I/O mapped or memory mapped and shall be selectable. The IU shall provide a bus interrupt when a complete IMU data message is available and the interrupt shall be selectable by jumpers. The purpose of this system is to be used as a Time-Space Position Information reference system.
