19 -- REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLES SOL N47408-98-R-3930 DUE 051598 POC Peggy Hake, (805) 982-5397 E-MAIL: SMTP@gateway@netSvcs, plhake@cbcph.navy.mil. QUESTION 1. In the description of requirements for interface capabilities, "Simrad/Mesotech sonar (analog and digital)" is listed. Since a sonar system is either analog OR digital, this suggests that the requirement may be for TWO sonars. However, we might also interpret the requirement to mean "one sonar, either analog OR digital". Which is the correct interpretation? ANSWER TO QUESTION 1. The requirement is to accommodate one sonar, either an analog or digital sonar, but not two simultaneously. QUESTION 2. In CLIN-0003, it is stated "Control Console with 50-ft cable". We interpret this to mean a 50-ft cable between the control console and the pilot control box. It is also possible that this means a 50-ft deck cable between the control console and the winch. Please clarify. ANSWER TO QUESTION 2. The control console with 50-ft cable refers to the cable that connects the control console to the pilot control box. QUESTION 3. In CLIN-0003, it is stated "2 monitors (ROV video and vehicle status)". In our system, the ROV video and vehicle status is superimposed on the same video monitor (on-screen videographic overlay). Does this mean that only one video monitor is required? Or is the second video monitor intended for the simultaneous 2nd video camera described in CLIN-0001? Please clarify. ANSWER TO QUESTION 3. The Navy's specification for two (2) (full sized) monitors is based on using one monitor for the RoV video signal, along with compass and depth information, and the second monitor for viewing system status information. The Navy requires the system status display separated from ROV video display. QUESTION 4. In CLIN-0009, "control console extension cable, unit-one each, 50 ft", is this an additional extension to the 50-ft cable to the pilot control box, already included in CLIN-0003? Or is it a deck cable between the control console and the winch? Or an extension cable for another purpose? Please clarify. ANSWER TO QUESTION 4. The 50-ft control console extension cable is an additional extension tothe 50-ft pilot control box cable (0119)
