The sole source determination is based on the following factors: A second Eagle Tracker System is required to augment the existing system in use by the Naval Aircraft Approach and Landing Data Acquisition System (NAALDAS) project in the Structures Division. The tracker system takes as input data files and images of aircraft landings stored on video disk, and as output provides positional data on those aircraft in a format ready for processing through a statistical analysis system. The new system must process data concurrently with the current tracker system, therefore they must process data identically. The system currently in use was purchased from Tau Corporation and uses Tau's proprietary data tracking algorithms, for which the government does not own the source code.
