K -- EAGLE VISION -- SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR PROCESSOR AND OCEAN SURVEILLANCE DUE 040299 POC Ms Diane O'Neil, Contract Specialist, 781-271-7349; Mr Joseph P. Abate, Contracting Officer, 781-271-7141 WEB: ESC Business Opportunities Web Page, http://www.herbb.hanscom.af.mil. E-MAIL: Click Here to E-mail the POC, swopet@hanscom.af.mil. The Information Operations Ground Systems (IYG) Program Office seeks to improve the Eagle Vision I synthetic aperature radar (SAR) imagery processing time and add the capability to perform ocean surveillance with an existing commercial-off-the-shelf product (s). The improved SAR processor will reduce the processing time for radar imagery (Radarsat and ERS) from the current forty (40) minutes to less than two (2) minutes for a 50x50km scene. It will include hardware and software to process the complex computational load required to produce plug and play products for radar imagery from U.S. and coalition partners. It will ingest CEOS RAW format and GERALD format data input from DLT 7000, Exabyte 8mm, CD-ROM, or LAN interfaces and output Radarsat CEOS products (SLC, SGF, SGX, SCN, and SCW) and ERS products (PRI). The ocean surveillance capability will include vessel detection technology that permits analysis of scenes in three and a half (3.5) to four and a half (4.5) minutes. The product (s) will remain compatible with the existing commercial network interface standards in Eagle Vision, i.e., Ethernet and ATM. Sources are invited to provide technical information, cost of system, and describe customer base. Please provide name of your firm, address, point of contact, phone/fax, and an electronic mail address, if available. Total contract value is anticipated to be under $1M.
