58 -- VIDEO TRACKER SYSTEM SOL N68936-99-R-0070 POC Mary Jacobs, Contracting Officer, (760) 939-6043 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), China Lake, CA intends to procure Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM)Video Trackers using an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity 3 year contract. The video trackers will be installed in NAWCWD designed VME controllers which will be used primarily with tracking mounts on the land and sea ranges of NAWCWD. Video input will conform to RS-170 or NTSC (minus the subcarrier in the picture area). The tracker boresight error (target position information) output will be passed over a VME bus to the KTM RTM computer card which will use it as the basis for control of the azimuth and elevation servo systems of the KTM while in the auto-track mode. A wide variety of targets will be tracked ranging from aircraft, missiles, bombs, parachutes, flares, etc. The background during any single event can change from sunny clear sky, to clouds or mountains and may include manmade clutter objects, such as poles, wires, buildings, motor vehicles, etc. The source of the video images may be visible or infrared cameras. Items shall be delivered within 120 days following date of order. The video trackers must contain the following specifications: 1) ELECTRICAL INTERFACE -- VME: Standard 6U x 160 mm (pin I/O IAW IEEE STD 1014-87) (Video tracker is a slave to system CPU and must pass data directly on VME bus.), Serial: RS-232 and RS-422 compatible, Functions: same as those available by VME control, Format: Asynchronous, Baud Rate: 9600, 19,200, or 38,400, Digital video input: differential (RS-422 or similar), 12 parallel bit minimum; 2)VIDEO INPUT: Quantity 1 minimum, Format: Composite Video (1.0 Vp-p, 525 Line, 60 Hz), Standards: RS-170, NTSC, Impedance: 75 Ohm, Accessible: via user pins on VME P2 connector, Input video digitization: at least 256 grey levels (8 bits minimum); 3) VIDEO OUTPUT: Single channel: Input video with symbology and overlay and selectable enhancements within detect/track window, Format: Composite Video (1.0 Vp-p, 525 Line, 60 Hz), Impedance: 75 Ohm, Active Track Area: 90% of image raster; 4)PERFORMANCE FACTORS: Data update: 60 Hz, Video Track Region: 90% of 512 x 240 pixel screen, Target to boresight error latency: <10 msec after the track gate trailing edge, 5)TARGET ACQUISITION: Target size: 1 x 1 pixels <Tgt<200 x 100 pixels and contrast >1.5%, S/N: 4 minimum, Discriminates: target size, intensity, speed, direction of motion, Target Greyscale: white, black or bipolar with software programmable contrast threshold; 6)TARGET TRACKING: Window/Gate size: 6 x 3 pixels to 200 x 100 pixels, controlled by algorithm with manual override available, Target Greyscale: white, black or bipolar with software programmable contrast threshold, Break Lock Mode:, Tracking Algorithm: centroid, correlation (shape tracking with phasing), edge track; 7)STANDARDIZED VIDEO TAPE PERFORMANCE: 5% Target, uniform background: Breaklock-1.5% contrast, Reacquisition-2.5% contrast, 1% target, uniform background: Breaklock-3.5% contrast, Reacquisition-5.5% contrast; 8)SOFTWARE SETUP:Target Greyscale: Auto (black, white, bipolar), white, black, bipolar, Target Classification Mode: Statistical Correlation, Detection Direction/Plume-Contrail Rejection: full box, left open, left and bottom open, right and bottom open, right open, right and top open, top open, left and top open; 9)SYMBOLOGY: Electrical Boresight, Detect/Track Window boundary, Target Aimpoint, Mode definition; 10)PC MENU: The video tracker shall be supplied with separate setup and mode control software, to run on a PC, in order to setup the video tracker in different configurations, for evaluation of tracking modes during integration., Deliverable documentation shall include definition of all setup and mode control commands and shall include source language examples of all setup and mode control commands.; 11)POWER (Supplied from VME bus): +5 Vdc: 5 A max, +/- 12 Vdc; 1.0 A max; 12)Y2K COMPLIANCE: The video tracker defined by this specification must be Y2K compliant; 13)MECHANICAL: Number of VME slots: 2 maximum (the two cards must not use the VME bus, P1, to communicate with each other. They may not be located in adjacent VME slots), Card Format: 6U x 160 mm, Card width: 4T(20.1mm or 0.79 inch); 14) ENVIRONMENTAL: Operating: 0 degrees C to 50 degrees C, Storage: -20 degrees C to 55 degrees C, Humidity: 95% non-condensing, Conformal coating: The video tracker card(s) shall be conformal coated. A product demonstration may be required for final selection. A solicitation conference and site visit will be held on 20 April 1999 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. A request to attend the solicitation conference and site visit must be submitted in writing to NAWCWPNS, Code 220000D, Attn: Mary Jacobs, China Lake, CA 93555-6100 by 1500, 14 Apr 1999, by FAX to Mary Jacobs, Code 220000D, (760) 939-5528, or email request to jacobsmk@navair.navy.mil.
