The 46th Test Wing is seeking sources with expertise to design, deliver, integrate, install, test, and provide training for the Time-Space-Position Information (TSPI) Data Processor (TDP) System. The TDP will be used by DOD test ranges to provide real-time optimal TSPI estimates used for assisting tracking systems and mission displays. The TDP shall be integrated into existing DOD test range facilities that may have unique tracking systems and interfaces. The TDP is a VME-based system with multiple Scaleable Processor Architecture (SPARC) boards and various input and output interface boards. The TDP is designed with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. The Square Root Information Filter (SRIF) and Square Root Information Smoother (SRIS) are unique Kalman Filter implementations that utilize parallel processing techniques and are coded in ADA. Potential sources must possess demonstrated experience in each of the following areas: (1) The SRIF and SRIS TSPI Data Processor algorithms, (2) real-time integration and processing of test range multi-sensor TSPI data including all forms of Global Positioning System (GPS) measurement data, (3) development of VME-based multiprocessor systems, (4) implementation and operation of Wind River's Real-Time Operating System (VX Works), (5) operation of Verdix's ADA Development System (VADS Works), (6) use of IV SPARC and Super SPARC boards, (7), design and integration of DOD test range interfaces with radar, GPS, multi-lateration and optical TSPI sensors, and overall DOD test range operations.
