70 -- TERRAIN RECONNAISSANCE TOOL (TRT) POC Project Leader, Mr. Daniel Oimoen, (703) 355-2821. The U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) is requesting information from manufacturers and vendors on systems that integrate positioning sensors with other data collection devices for the purpose of collecting spatial data for a Geographic Information System (GIS). Such a system is referred to as a Terrain Reconnaissance Tool (TRT). Systems should interface with a military-grade Precise Positioning Service (PPS) Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. Systems should allow for data attribution in accordance with the Defense Mapping Agency Feature Attribute Coding Catalog (DMA FACC). Systems should export collected positional and attribute data to ARC/INFO, GRASS, and Erdas GISs. Systems should interface with other data collection devices, such as a digital camera and a laser range finder (with digital compass and inclinometer). Systems that have a map background display should accept DMA digital products, GIS formats (ARC/INFO and Erdas), and TIFF raster formats. Send product information to U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center, ATTN: CETEC-TD-GS (Daniel C. Oimoen), 7701 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22315-3864. Respondents should indicate whether they are a large business, a small business, a socially and economically disadvantaged business, or a woman-owned business. Respondents will receive a detailed questionnaire on TRT capabilities at a later date. This announcement is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor does it promise that any procurement activity will follow. (173)
