- Description
- The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) has a requirement to procure Fiber Optic Gyro Inertial Measurement Units that can be used on existing ARGO J8 unmanned ground vehicle systems. The requirement is for a quantity of two units and includes options for purchase of eight additional units. The 1775 Fiber Optic Gyro Inertial Measurement Unit (FOG IMU), manufactured by KVH Industries, is the most compact high performance IMU designed for highly dynamic challenging applications. The 1775 FOG IMU has a low profile (< 3" height) which is critical for its implementation on the existing ARGO J8 unmanned ground vehicle system. This particular IMU is extremely noise and temperature resistant and does not experience gyro drift. In addition, KVH 1775 FOG IMU is currently utilized by TARDEC Combat Vehicle Robotics and Autonomous Ground Resupply programs. TARDEC has already invested significant time and resource to create the necessary software drivers that enable use of this IMU on unmanned ground systems. Developing a driver for a different IMU would incur unacceptable duplication of effort and would result in severe delays for mission execution. Finally, the KVH 1775 FOG IMU offers the following technical specifications, which in combination are not available through any other vendor's products: • Bias stability, ≤0.05°/hr, 1σ (typical) • Bias vs. Temp. (≤1°C/min ), ≤0.7°/hr, 1σ (typical) • Height, <3in. • Angle Random Walk, ≤0.012°/√hr (≤0.7°/hr/√Hz ) • Bandwidth, ≥1000 Hz • Power Consumption, 5W (typical), 8W (max) NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (18-MAR-2019). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 17-APR-2019, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
