16 -- ENHANCEMENTS TO GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH CORPORATION (GTRC) DEVELOPED GEO-REFERENCED DIGITAL MAP DISPLAY SYSTEM CALLED FALCON VIEW SOL DAAJ05-95-R-0012 DUE 082895 POC Sharon Horton, Contract Specialist, 804-878-0093/Linda O'Dell, Contracting Officer, 804-878-3064. The Integrated Aviation Systems 21 Working Group (IAS21WG) intends to negotiate this program under an other than full and open competitive basis with Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC), Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA. The objective of this research and development effort is to incorporate enhancements to the GTRC developed geo-referenced digital map display system (called Falcon View) to support rotary wing applications. Those enhancements include incorporation and manipulation of low-level-flight map scales and geo-referenced scanned imagery, map coordinate conversion capability, manual and electronic chart update capabilities, additional symbology, calculation of threat intervisibility, and modifications to open database architecture and documentation of existing and new source code. Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, GTRC is deemed the only source for this work, since they developed the Falcon View program for the Air National Guard, and the program is still evolving with daily software updates being made. The Government does not possess nor does it have access to a technical data package that would support a competitive acquisition. Based on the above, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, is deemed the only source capable of satisfying the Government's requirements and they are the only known source having sufficient data and knowledge to perform this effort. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the Agency. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0195)
