70 -- DIGITAL IMAGE RECORDER POC Christi L. Eggleston, Contract Specialist, (505) 846-4283/Liza Suazo Herrera, Contracting Officer, (505) 846-2659. The Air Force Phillips Laboratory, Directorate of Contracting, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, is seeking potential sources to provide a DataCube MD-1/16GB, or equal, Digital Image Recorder, Quantity one (1), for the Advanced Modular Tracker (AMT). The tracker will be flown aboard a balloon-borne payload and is a VME based system whose primary component is the DataCube MaxVideo 20. The Digital Image Recorder will be used to simultaneously record images from two (2) 60 Hz cameras processed through the tracker in a digital format in real time. The data retrieval requirement is to retrieve the images for display in real-time and for analysis. This requirement necessitates that frame and line sync codes be stored with the data. The specifications for the Digital Image Recorder are as follows: SIZE: The controller (if one is used) must fit in a single 6U VME slot. The current space reserved for the image recorder is 8'' x 18'' x 22''. If a device is proposed of larger dimensions, schematics of the dimensions must be provided so that we can determine if it is possible to rearrange other components to ensure that it fits, WEIGHT: 80 lbs or less, BANDWIDTH: Greater than 12 MByte/sec. This number is determined from images from two (2) cameras operating at 60 Hz being simultaneoulsy recorded. If disks are used, the controller must ensure that latency due to head seeks and switching platters is transparent to the user. The system should be scalable so that additional bandwidth may be obtained at a cost of space, DATA PATH: Due to different camera formats, the storage system must be capable of receiving 12 bit and 8 bit data transfers, INTERFACE: Must be capable of receiving data at above bandwidth and data path via MAXBus from MaxVideo 20. Must be commandable through Imageflow (version 2.4.l55) software. Must also operate with VxWorks (Version 5.1) operating system, CAPACITY: To ensure that all data will be collected, the recorder must be capable of storing at least 15 Gbytes of data, DATA FORMAT: Frame sync and line sync codes must be stored to allow real-time dearchival of data, POWER: Nominal values are given. Proposed values should be close to these. If the given values are exceeded, but close, we will analyze our power budget. DC power is preferred (28+/-3 volts). If this is not given, the device must be capable of being modified to accept 28V power. Operating Power: 400W, Standby Power l00 W, Peak Power: 700 W, and Current: 8 Amps, COMPONENT EMI: The recorder must not adversely affect operation of other equipment in close proximity, VIBRATION: Operating vibration is expected to be 1.25 G or less and non-operating vibration is expected to be 0.5 G or less, SHOCK: The system must survive parachute opening shocks, ground impact, and topple. Operating shock is expected to be 2 G or less (10msec half-sine). The maximum non-operating shock expected is 10g, ramped over 0.5 sec, ENVIRONMENTAL: Most of the electronics on the payload are housed in a temperature controlled, pressurized cannister. Operating Temperature: 0-55 degrees C, Survival Temperature: -55-75 degrees C, Operating Pressure: 710-1378 mbar, and Survival Pressure: 12-1378 mbar. Firms responding must submit technical documentation (i.e. technical literature, brochures, schematics, etc) for the system being offered. The technical documentation should provide sufficient technical data in order for the Phillips Lab project office to determine whether the system meets the required technical specifications as stated above. Responses with supporting technical data are to be submitted to Phillips Laboratory/PKOE, ATTN: Ms Chris Eggleston, 2000 Wyoming Blvd SE, Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5606 no later than 21 Feb 95. Foreign-owned firms will not be precluded from participating in this acquisition. Firms responding should indicate if they are a Small Business, a Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Business, an 8(a) qualified business, or Woman-owned Business. For the purposes of being considered a small business the following applies: SIC Code 5045, Size Standard 100 employees. The Government reserves the right to set this acquisition aside for Small Business, SBA 8(a) Program, Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCU) or Minority Institutions (MI) based upon known sources and/or responses to this synopsis. Firms responding should indicate whether they fall into any of these categories. DPA#: KMA-93-AD15. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to receive and communicate serious concerns from potential offerors when an offeror prefers not to use established channels to address concerns during the proposal development phase of the acquisition. Potential offerors should use established channels to request information, pose questions, and voice concerns before contacting the Ombudsman. For serious concerns only, potential offerors are invited to contact the primary PL Ombudsman, Colonel Dayton L. Silver, at 505/846-4964 or the alternate PL Ombudsman, Bruce Grunsten in the Directorate of Contracting, at 505/846-8273 or at 3651 Lowry Ave SE, Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5777. (0031)
