- Description
- This announcement is a request for information. The Department of Defense (DOD), Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SSC) San Diego, is conducting market research and planning to determine the interest and capability of industry to participate in a competitive acquisition for detecting motion from a moving platform. Motion Detection On-The- Move (M-DOTM) has been identified by the users of the Mobile Detection And Response Systems (MDARS) as one of their primary goals. The Mobile Detection Assessment Response System (MDARS) is a joint Army-Navy effort to field interior and exterior autonomous platforms for security and inventory assessment functions at DoD warehouses and storage sites. The program is managed by the Office of the Product Manager, Physical Security Equipment, (PM-PSE) at Ft. Belvoir, VA, with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC San Diego) providing all technical direction and systems integration functions. Note: system must have the capability to operate without continuous monitoring or oversight. The responder needs to submit clear relevant information such as operating conditions, approximate false alarm rate, detection range, and technologies utilized. Relevant questions to be answered include but are not limited to: ??? What technologies are you employing? (Cameras, radars, lasers, sonars, etc.) ??? How far along is your development? Has it been tested in the field? Can it be demonstrated? Do you have any video? ??? What is the detection range? ??? What are the operational conditions (Day, night, clear, fog, rain, snow, desert, altitude, etc.) ? ??? What are the operational areas (urban, desert, clear of obstacles, bushes, trees, metal, etc.)? ??? What are the types of platform surface conditions (smooth road, maintained trail, unmaintained, etc.)? ??? What is the capability of detecting moving targets? At what platform operational speeds (min/max) ? ??? What is the capability of detecting moving targets? Moving at what speed (min/max)? ??? What is the target size? What is the number of pixels, cross- section? ??? Can the system handle multiple targets? ??? What is the false alarm rate? ??? What is the estimated probability of detection? ??? What is the number of sensors needed for 360 deg coverage? ??? What are system???s minimum and maximum operating ranges? ??? What is the resolution of the system at different detection ranges? ??? How are range, resolution and false alarm rates affected by environmental factors such as trees/plants, rain, snow, metal buildings, etc? ??? What are the maximum values of shock and vibration that the system can receive and still be functional (in terms of the system performance levels)? ??? What is the range of temperatures that the system can operation in? ??? What is the performance of the system when people are occluded by stationary objects or trees/plants? ??? Based on cost and performance is it better to use an array of stationary sensors or a rotating platform with a single sensor? ??? How many simultaneous targets can be tracked? ??? How is system performance affected as a function of the number of simultaneous targets being tracked? The planned procurement will include: (1) procurement and design of hardware suites; (2) integration and land based test site testing with government furnished application software; (3) systems and technical engineering services; (4) logistics support to include training, training material development, technical data including test procedures, test reports, and drawings, spare parts procurement, installation labor, and testing. The package shall include the following: (1) Name and address of applicant (Corporate/Principal Office); (2) name, telephone and fax number of point of contact; (3) date firm started; (4) NAICS Code and (5) whether or not your concern is a small business, small disadvantaged 8(a) certified, woman-owned small business, small disadvantaged business (not 8(a) certified), or HUBZone certified. Interested firms capable of supplying a motion detection system are invited to submit the above information not to exceed ten (10) pages. Interested sources are requested to submit Information Statements electronically by 4:00 p.m. PST on 08 May 2007 to the POC e-mail address. For information regarding this request for information contact the POC, Mr. John J. Berlin II, (619) 553- 4501 or via e-mail at: john.berlin@navy.mil. Proprietary data will be protected when so designated. Acknowledgement of receipt will not be made. Availability of any formal solicitation will be announced separately. This is NOT a request for proposal (RFP), invitation for bid (IFB), or an announcement of a solicitation and no solicitation package exists at this time. The request for information announcement is requested for informational purposes only. No cost data should be submitted. The Government will not pay for any materials provided in response to this synopsis and submittals will not be returned to the sender.
