- CAD Modeling Capability Demonstration: This Request for Information (RFI) is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. A. INTRODUCTION: CAD Modeling Capability Demonstration: This Request for Information (RFI) is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit CAD modeling capability demonstration candidates from Research and Development (R&D) organizations, private industry, and academia. USSOCOM invites industry, academia, individuals, and Government labs to submit nominations. The intent is to provide participants with the opportunity to gain Special Operations Forces (SOF) insight/perspective on participant technologies. This RFI is for SORDAC-KP 2014:  Date: 02 through 06 February 2015 • Location: Virginia Beach, VA B. OBJECTIVE: 1. CAD modeling capability demonstration to provide an opportunity for technology developers to interact with operational personnel to determine how their technology development efforts and ideas may support or enhance SOF capability needs. The environment facilitates a collaborative working relationship between Government, academia, and industry to promote the identification and assessment of emerging and mature technologies. The U.S. Government is conducting market research to identify a site surveying and CAD modeling system for the purpose of creating Building Information Model's (BIM) like models of existing maritime vessels. There are three components to the desired system. The first is the surveying/data collection of an existing vessel. The second is the creation of a CAD model of the surveyed site using the collected data and previously available vessel data. The third is the publishing of the BIM like model into various print formats and the ability to export the complete BIM like model for exploitation in 3rd party geospatial analysis software. The sites to be surveyed will be of differing sizes and complexity. 2. Surveying: The objective of the surveying system is to allow for a survey team to survey a vessel, cataloging all aspects and features of the vessel into an independent local database stored on a portable device that each surveyor would carry. All surveying hardware would be carried as a man-wearable pack or handheld device. Data to be collected would include remote sensing data Time-of-Flight (ToF)/Red Green Blue-Depth (RGB-D) depth images and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) point clouds), and associated Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) enabled Global Positioning System (GPS) location data (expect denied GPS services while surveying inside vessels) for data positioning and merging overlaps. The surveyor would also have a method of recording video and taking high resolution photos, to detail observations while surveying. At any time during the surveying, using automated tools, the surveyors are able to synchronize their databases to create or update a master site survey database and validate it for completeness of coverage and quality. Support for merging and synchronizing overlap of surveyed regions would be required. The collected video and photos would also be synchronized with the collected remote sensing data. Non-wireless transmission of collected data is desired. 3. CAD Modeling: The CAD software will provide tools for building the vessel model from paper blueprints, digital blueprints, existing wireframe models, and remote sensing data. A navigation interface will assist with traversing the model and allow for creating custom views/"camera" locations. When a user selects an entry in the navigation interface, the "camera" is moved to display the selected item. As the model is built, entries will be made to the navigation tree automatically in a logical structure identifying named objects in a parent-child tree (e.g. If an area is identified as "living room", and a door is added to the "living room", the navigation tree would list the door as a child of the "living room"). The navigation interface will have the option for customization, with the ability to add tabs and create a partial listing of navigation locations. Object Metadata is a core component of the BIM like model. Support for customizable symbols (CAD geometries) accessible from a toolbar/ribbon menu will allow for inserting these objects into the model. A pre-formatted form (also customizable and associated with the individual symbols) would query the user upon insertion into the model. The form would allow for inserting associated metadata with the symbol. A symbol could be any kind of object (e.g. symbol for a specific kind of window would allow the insertion of a window object into a wall and upon inserting it would query the user for the window material, glass thickness, type of glass used, a field for inserting a photo of the window, a field for inserting notes about the window). The forms would allow for metadata of types of: images, text of any length, videos, PDF/documents, panoramic image, panoramic videos, and the ability to define the viewing properties when selected from the navigation interface (e.g. zoom level, angle of view). Once the symbol is inserted into the model, its metadata is viewable by clicking on the object. If the Symbol has images, videos, or documents associated as metadata, there will be an interface for viewing them. The CAD software will support the ability of creating a walking route that will be synchronized with a video playback. This would be a line geometry that would be an overlay on the model that would be draw on manually. For multi-story vessels, the software will have the ability to crossover floors. The starting point will be identified by a green dot and the end point by a red dot. An arrow will identify the direction the route flows. The route object will have the ability to associate a video file to it. Using the videos timecode/frames/breadcrumbs, the route, and the video will be synchronized for simultaneous playback of the video and walkthrough of the route. A graphic marker will identify the position along the route, with an arrow identifying the viewing angle of the video, and advance its position as the video plays. By clicking anywhere along the path, video playback will begin at that location, the video playback will also have a position slider that can be moved back or forward and the graphic marker will be synchronized accordingly. Video playback will continue if a floor is crossed over and the CAD model view will update to show the new floor. The complete BIM like CAD model would then consist of the 3D wireframe, Remote Sensing texture data, symbols with metadata, and the walking route. Tools for integration with a project data repository will be required to manage all data associated with the site BIM like model. The tool must support multiple users, with the ability to merge updates, perform conflict resolution of changes, and track changes by author. ****SEE ATTACHED for complete RFI with Submission Instructions****
