- Description
- Notice of Intent to award noncompetitive procurement for a photogrammetry package that will be integrated with an already purchased stratospheric hyperspectral sensor from HySpex. The photogrammetry package consists of a high-end inertial motion unit (IMU) from Trimble, adapted by HySpex for high-altitude (stratosphere) UAS flights, with an in-house microelectronics solution for recording time stamped images and IMU data (HySpex NUC solution). The Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Innovation Center (housed in GMEG Science Center), has a requirement for accessories adapted uniquely to a USGS owned HySpex Mjolnir. Trimble's Applanix 20-L is a high-end IMU designed to maintain accurate pointing (e.g., roll, pitch)) and absolute location data for extended periods of time. This allows georeferencing of any imaging collected simultaneously. HySpex has made some alterations to the package to allow it to operate at the low pressure and temperatures encountered at stratospheric altitudes. Data flows from the IMU and hyperspectral sensor into a data acquisition unit that has been designed to work at high-latitudes with the HySpex Mjolnir sensor, and the Applanix-20-L. POSPac software is used to process the imagery and IMU data to output georeferenced image useable in most GIS and other image processing programs. The components will need to perform at temperature and pressure conditions experienced in the stratosphere. The IMU must be a low Size, weight and power to fly on-board light-weight UAS. To optimize payloads, we are looking for IMUs that meet these specifications or better: - < 500 grams for both board and IMU - Individual component dimensions are under 100 x 100 x 100 mm - Dual IMUs for mounting on sensor and on GNSS-inertial board - Higher than 50 Hz - Temperature range for stratosphere: up to -40 to 70 degrees F - Roll and pitch: 0.03 degrees or better resolution - Velocity: 0.07 m/sec or better - Power: 2-40 VDC, with 3-4 Watts max consumption The goal of the hardware and software purchase above is to acquire very accurately georeferenced hyperspectral images that will serve the USGS National Land Imaging Program as it explores the use of stratospheric drones as national imaging assets. NASA and USFS partner Swift will integrate these elements onto their SULE drone for a test flight in summer 2021. The test flight is intended to be the first demonstration of a stratospheric, long endurance imaging program. This capability may increasingly complement satellite imagery as national image assets. Other interested concerns having the ability to furnish these services may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer, Charlan Fejarang, via email at cjfejarang@usgs.gov no later than the closing date of this announcement on June 18, 2021 at 12:00pm PDT. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist.
