- Description
- This is a RFI only. This is not a Request for Proposal, a Request for Quotation, or Invitation for Bids. There is currently no solicitation package available. A requirement by the Government exists for: • A maximum of 120 Dragon V Systems RID units. • These RID units to be procured through a 3-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to support the production and delivery of multiple Fire Scout Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UA V) Mission Control Stations (MCSs). To assess what RID units currently exist in the marketplace, the Navy is requesting industry provide product descriptions of items that meet the Government requirement stated below: • Shall fit in a space of 8"W x 7.5"D x 5.5"H to maintain a volume envelope to allow installation into the rack and leave appropriate volume for other components, cable runs, etc. Maximum volume is based on volume used by equivalent function in the Air Vehicle. • Shall operate on 28VDC power and not exceed a current draw of 3.1A at this voltage. • Shall withstand an operating temperature range of -40°F (-40°C) to 158°F (+70°C). • Shall withstand a non-operating temperature range of -40°F (-40°C) to 185°F (+85°C). • Shall have adequate protection against damage to permit handling without the need for special Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) productive handling procedures. Due to the current state of development of the Fire Scout UAV MCSs, testing results and certification to MIL-STD-188-114A (Electrical Characteristics of Digital Interface Circuits), MIL-STD-1553B (Digital Time Division Command/Response Multiplex Data Bus), MIL-STD-1686C (ESD control program for protection of electrical and electronic parts, assemblies, and equipment (excluding electrically initiated explosive devices)), MIL-STD-461F (requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment), MIL-STD-810 (For temperature standards, shock standards, and vibration standards) costs would be the responsibility of the potential contractor. If you believe you have RID units that meet the requirements, you are asked to provide that information.
