E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting specialist via, sweeneys@eglin.af.mil. 1. The Air Armament Center, 46 Test Wing, intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a Firm- Fixed Price contract, under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.5, test program for simplified acquisition of supplies and services, for a single DMT CAPS Probe Data System. The DMT CAPS Probe is an airborne pod, which carries a Cloud Aerosol Spectrometer (CAS), a Cloud Imaging probe (CIP) and a hot wire liquid water sensor (LWC-100). This probe shall be carried on a C12 aircraft. The DMT CAPS Probe is used to analyze droplet and particle sizes and concentrations within clouds. The DMT CAPS Probe is built by Droplet Measurement Technologies, 2400 Central Ave., Suite B-2 Boulder Co. The DMT CAPS Probe Data System shall be a computer based user interface (hardware and software) to the DMT CAPS Probe. System software shall enable the user to display, and analyze, and record DMT CAPS Probe data in real time. In addition, this system software shall enable the user to display analyze and record up to 32 differential analog signals and 32 discrete optically isolated signals from various aircraft systems in real time. This system shall also provide an interface to a GFE GPS receiver. Data shall be recorded on a tape drive, removable hard disk drive, or CD-ROM drive. System software shall enable the playback, display and analysis of recorded data. System software shall be flexible in the data channels selected for recording, playback and display. System software shall enable the user to quickly and easily change the selected data channels without resorting to recompiling the CPU source code. System software shall generate a real time VGA display of graphical windows. Up to eight of these windows shall be active simultaneously. These windows shall include the following types of displays: Size distributions of particles plotted as frequency histograms, 3D histograms showing the time evolution of frequency histograms, Cumulative size distribution of particles, Liquid water concentration or volume, Time traces of particle parameter, Statistical summaries of all particle data, Two dimensional images from the CIP, Strip charts of analog or digital data versus time, X versus Y plots, Y versus time plots, ASCII text display. System software shall enable the user to generate a print of any of these graphical windows to a color laser printer, or send ASCII text displays to a standard laser printer. The system software shall allow selected data to be output in a format acceptable to the Microsoft XCEL spreadsheet program. This system CPU shall be based on the Intel Pentium microprocessor @ 400MHZ or higher. The operating system shall be MS-DOS 5.0-6.2, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT. This system shall be contained in a standard 19inch wide rack with maximum dimensions of 19 by 16 (height) by 20 (depth). This system shall be powered by +28VDC or 115VAC @ 400 HZ. This system shall be ruggedized and shock mounted to withstand aircraft vibration. This system shall be installed within an aircraft cockpit; therefore it will not be subject to temperature extremes. 2.
