- HIGH SPEED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM This is a Sources Sought Synopsis. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), 412 Test Engineering Group (TENG), Edwards AFB, CA is looking for sources with a demonstrated expertise and experience for a contract to provide a family of compatible hardware and software products and services meeting the High Speed Data Acquisition Systems requirements. The anticipated contract will be for a five (5) year duration and will support all combined test flight (CTF) programs at Edwards AFB and other multi-service agencies. The items required must be Form, Fit and Function compatible and interchangeable with products previously procured from Teletronics Technology Corporation, Newtown, PA. These items were designed and developed by the manufacturer and the government cannot provide detailed specifications and drawings. The requirements include but are not limited to the following items: hardware, software, technical and administrative support, service, training, data, hardware and software enhancements and repair and retrofit. The Airborne Data Acquisition System shall be a highly advanced, proven, fully integrated, general purpose flight test instrumentation specifically designed for aerospace applications. The data acquisition system shall use the Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) bus in its design. The basic system shall consist of a programmable controller unit which communicates with analog and digital remotes via a high speed CAIS bus with command response topology. The remote units shall handle a large number of widely diversified data sources which include low and high level analog signals, as well as support programmable gain, auto gain ranging, signal conditioning and signal filtering as required. The units shall also handle digital data from sources such as Bi-Level, Serial and Parallel inputs as well as monitor and interface standard avionics buses including MIL Std 1553 A/B, ARINC 429, RS-232/422, RS485, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Ethernet 10/100/1000 base-T, Fire wire IEEE-1394b, ASM Copper/Glass Fiber Channel and F-22 FOTR Bus. The system shall be capable of providing multiple data output formats in accordance with the Range Commanders Council (RCC) Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) Standards, IRIG 106, as well as support selected data and bulk recording per IRIG Chapter 10. All system components shall be compatible with and supported by TTC WARE for configuration set-up, display and analysis. Items required will specifically include:1) DAU Standalone and Master/ Remote Units (Up to 5 Mbps) : TTC Models MCDAU/MEDAU-2000, CDAU/EDAU-2000 and various overhead/ signal input modules and cards; 2) High Speed DAU Standalone and Master/ Remote Units (5Mbps to 20 Mbps): TTC Models MCDAU/MEDAU-2000, CDAU/EDAU-2000 and various overhead/ signal input modules and cards; 3) RF Products: TTC Model TTS-XXXX Airborne Telemetry, Digital, Wideband and Video RF Transmitters, TTC Model TRS-XXX Airborne Telemetry, Digital and Video RF Receivers, TTC Model LS-XX PC Based RF Receiver, TTC Model TPS-XXXX RF Power Amplifier, TTC Model MWTR- XXX Wireless Transceiver; 4) Ground Support and PC Based Products: TTC Model BSM/DBS/DCOM/RCV PCMCIA Based Products, TTC Model PHQC Palm Held Product, TTC Model PSU and GSU Ground Support Products; 5) Solid State Recorders: TTC Model SMS/MMSM/MSSR/MSU Recorders and Memory, 6) Multiplexers/Reproducers: TTC Model MARM-2000/RMOR-2000 with various overhead and input cards, 7) High Speed Controllers/ Multiplexers; TTC Model AIC/AIM/HSAVDAU and MUX-3000 and various overhead, interface and support modules; 8) Video and Cockpit Display Products: TTC Model CVM/CDU/DVC Airborne Video Encoders/Decoders, TTC Model CDCU Cockpit Display Units; 9)Support Items: As Required; 10) Hardware Enhancement: As Required; 11) Software Enhancement: As Required; 12) Training: As Required; 13)Data: As required.. Current Programs which may be affected include F-22 EMD and enhancements, F-16 Peace Marble and F-16 Block 60 UAE, and USAF Sustainment Programs like the B-1, C-130J, C-5, F-117, B-1, CV-22 and U-2 Projects as well as new F-35JSF, UAV, Weapons Integration and other planned projects.
