- Description
- This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) for the purpose of obtaining information for the reception, ordering, acquiring and processing one-meter panchromatic and multispectral imagery. Eagle Vision is the DoD's only deployable commercial ground station to directly receive and process imagery data from commercial, remote-sensing satellites and has a need for 1-meter panchromatic and multispectral imagery for use in the combat commander's mission planning/rehearsal and intelligence gathering systems. Eagle Vision provides imagery products for military operations, disaster relief and homeland defense. This RFI seeks information on capability to add a high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite to the Eagle Vision stations. The satellite must be commercially available, unclassified, and available for direct downlink anywhere an Eagle Vision might be deployed world-wide. The satellite data must provide one-meter or better Ground Sample Distance (GSD) panchromatic imagery with swath width of at least 8 kilometers, and the original image without ground control must exhibit geo-location accuracy of 30 meters (Circular Error 90%) or better. The satellite data must provide at least three-band multispectral imagery with ground sample distance of four meters or better, and geo-location accuracy of at least 40 meters (Circular Error 90%). The interface to the satellite must be compatible with the Eagle Vision hardware and software architecture, with minimum changes to the existing fielded systems. The satellite mission data reception, bit synchronization, and demodulation must be compatible with the fielded Eagle Vision communications subsystem. The interface to the satellite must be an existing commercially available product, fielded in other active ground stations, and proven compatible with the high-resolution satellite. Interested parties should submit a concept paper, up to 10 pages in length, describing the satellite, interface, operational capability, concept of integration, benefits, risks and limitations, and budgetary cost projection. Existing fielded implementations must be referenced. Product brochures and vendor marketing material may be submitted in addition to the concept paper. Responses are due no later than 13 February 2007, 2:00 PM EST.
