- Description
- This is a market survey for information only. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will come from this announcement. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow-up information requests. No telephone calls will be accepted requesting a bid package or solicitation. There is no bid package or solicitation, to protect the procurement integrity of any future procurement, if any, that may arise from this announcement. Please forward responses to michael.fanizzo@navy.mil. Responses should provide 1) equipment specifications, 2) performance/ capabilities data, 3) equipment configurations, 4) estimated life cycle costs, including acquisition, maintenance, and other relevant costs, 5) available logistic support packages, and 6) approximate lead times from order to delivery. 1. General Description The power management system shall power a wide suite of equipment, charge batteries, harvest solar energy, and re-direct/ scavenge energy from any available power source. The system must enable interoperability between all batteries and powered equipment carried by NSW operators, whether those items were designed to be compatible, with no user configuration or involvement. 2. Performance Characteristics a. Powering Equipment The system shall provide power to the devices listed in Appendix A from batteries, harvested solar energy or scavenged energy. The system shall provide a voltage and/or frequency conversion to the devices listed in Appendix A if necessary, with no user configuration or involvement. The system shall be easily programmable so that if new equipment is made available it can be made compatible. The system must be able to provide power from the batteries listed in Appendix B and adjust behavior depending upon the capability of the battery (primary vs. rechargeable, nominal voltage, power capability, etc.) with no user configuration or involvement. To allow the user to shed battery weight, the system shall deplete the least charged battery first. b. Power Harvesting and Scavenging The system shall be able to harvest or scavenge energy from native infrastructure (regardless of the voltage or frequency), solar cells, fuel cells and from found sources such as vehicle batteries, commercial batteries (i.e. AA or AAA), or partially depleted primary batteries. If harvested or scavenged power is being used to power a piece of equipment but the energy source is providing more power than the equipment uses, the system shall funnel the excess energy to another source or battery. If the harvested or scavenged energy is not capable of providing 100% of the power needed to run the equipment, the system shall pull energy from another source, such as a battery. Solar arrays must provide 250 Watts under optimal sun conditions. c. Battery Charging The system must use harvested or scavenged energy to charge the batteries in Appendix B. The system shall provide a voltage and/or frequency conversion if necessary, with no user configuration or involvement. The system must charge any combination of three of the batteries in Appendix B simultaneously and at least five of any combination of the batteries in Appendix B sequentially. The system shall actively monitor each of attached batteries from Appendix B for safe charging conditions, including not only voltage and current, but also battery temperature and health. The system shall be easily programmable so that if new rechargeable batteries are made available they can be made compatible. The system shall support SMBus for the charging of lithium batteries. d. Power Awareness The system shall include a user graphical user interface capable of displaying how much power is available in each of the batteries in Appendix B that are connected to the system. The display shall also show how much power each piece of equipment attached to the system is using. The system shall have the capability to log energy usage data over a minimum of 76 hours, allowing the user to appropriately plan the amount of energy needed to complete a specific mission. A USB interface shall be used to remove data from the system. e. Safety Features The device shall have all of the following safety features: Over Voltage Protection Over Current Protection Short Circuit Protection Reverse Polarity Protection Surge Protection EMI Protection High Temperature Protection 3. Physical Requirements Energy Inputs/Outputs The system shall have at least six ports to receive or distribute energy. At least two ports shall be able to harvest energy from solar cells, fuel cells or other scavenged sources. The system shall have the ability to receive or distribute energy through USB, cigarette lighter, and NATO slave plugs. Stowage, Volume and Weight The system, including solar cells and any connectors, must be easily stowed in a carrying case with a volume of less than 2 cubic feet and a weight of less than 10 lbs. Ruggidization The system shall adhere to MIL-STD-810-G for as many applicable standards as possible. The system shall have a warranty of no less than three months from item delivery. Appendix A “ Powered Equipment The power manager must be compatible with the following list of equipment so that it may provide the correct voltage and frequency required for the devices to operate: PRC 152 Handheld Radio AN/PRC-148 MBITR Radio PRC 117 Radio and SATCOM Antenna PSC 5 Portable SATCOM terminal Iridium Phone ROVER IV (Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver) Toughbook Laptop Appendix B - Batteries The power manager must be compatible with the following commonly used military batteries so that it may adjust behavior depending upon the capability of the battery (primary vs. rechargeable, nominal voltage, power capability, etc.) in order to provide power with no user configuration or involvement: BB-2590 BB-521 BA 5590
