58 -- UNDERWATER DIRECTIONAL SENSOR SOL N61331-96-Q-JM01 POC John Miller, Contract Specialist, (904)235-5399 Carol A. Dreger, Contracting Officer, (904)234-4863. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Coastal Systems Station is seeking potential sources on a high performance, low cost Sensor to provide directional data for a Navy underwater system. The Sensor must output heading and heading rate. Additional data ouputs such as such pitch angle, roll angle, pitch rate and roll rate are desirable but not required. Unaided heading accuracy must remain within 1.0 degree after one hour duration. Sensors utilizing measurement of magnetic fields and/or magnetic flux will not be considered. The system in which the sensor would be used is expendable, therefore per unit cost is second only to heading performance in importance. Minimal size and weight are also very important as the Sensor will be retrofitted into the existing system. Offerors of information should indicate all technical characteristics and sensor availability for evaluation and/or purchase. Point of contact for this action is John Miller, CSS Code SC12, (904)235-5399. This is a sources sought announcement only. A solicition will not be issued as a result of this announcment. A new CBD announcement will be published if a solicitation is developed. (0324)
