OF COMMERCE/NOAA INTENDS TO PROCURE FROM JAVAD POSITIONING SYSTEMS OR QUALIFIED RESELLERS. THE HARDWARE BEING PROCURED IS A GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) MANUFACTURED BY JAVAD POSITIONING SYSTEMS. THE LEGACY RECEIVERS AND RegAnt-2 ANTENNAS ARE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART GPS HARDWARE THAT WILL BE USED FOR RESEARCH PROJECTS . THE LEGACY IS ENGINEERED FOR HIGH PRECISION POSITION DETERMINATION FOR BOTH REAL-TIME AND POST PROCESSING MODES. TYPICAL PROJECTS REQUIRE LEGACY ARE EXTREMELY DYNAMIC SURVEYS IN REAL-TIME AND FOR PRECISION GPS TIMING PERFORMANCE. THE SPECIFICATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: GPS SYSTEMS; LEGACY GPS L1/12; UPDATE RATE 1rz RTK; 4 MB; ADVANCED MULTIPATH REDUCTION; IN-BAND INTERFERENCE REJECTION; FREQUENCY INPUT; RegAnt-2 GPS L1/L2. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE PROJECT'S GOALS THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS ARE MANDATORY: (A) WEIGHT, POWER CONSUMPTION, AND PORTABILITY -- THE WEIGHT IS LESS THEN 1kg. THE REQUIRED POWER TO RUN THE RECEIVER IS ABOUT 3.0 WATT. AND IT SHOULD BE EASY TO CARRY AND TO BE INSTALLED IN A VERY LIMITED SPACE. (B) TRACKING CHANNELS AND DATA OUTPUT RATE -- THE NUMBER OF TRACKING CHANNELS IS 20 FOR LI+L2 CPS/GLONASS. THE DATA OUTPUT RATE IS 20 MEASUREMENTS PER SECOND. (C) FAST DATA I/O -- THE RECEIVER PROVIDES HIGH SPEED PARALLEL PORT FOR DATA TRANSFER UP TO 500KB PER SECOND. (D) CAPABLE OF TRACKING THE GPS C/A CODE PHASE, CARRIER PHASE, AND DOPPLER ON L1 AND L2 IN 20 CHANNELS. (E) CAPABLE OF TRACKING GPS UNENCRYPTED CODE PHASE, CARRIER PHASE, AND DOPPLER ON L1 AND L2 IN 20 CHANNELS. (F) CAPABLE OF TRACKING C/A CARRIER PHASE AND PSEUDORANGE, P1 AND P2 CARRIER PHASE AND PSUEDORANGE WITH FULL CARRIER WAVELENGTHS DURING PERIODS WHEN ANTI-SPOOFING (AS) IS TURNED ON. (G) THE RECEIVER IS ENCASED IN A HIGH QUALITY, HIGH STRENGTH, LIGHTWEIGHT, UV STABLE MATERIAL FOR RUGGED, WATERPROOF, AND SHOCK RESISTANT. (H) RECEIVER, COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE MUST BE ABLE TO RUN ON WINDOWS 95/98NT OPERATING SYSTEMS. THIS SOFTWARE SHOULD ALLOW THE USER TO QUICKLY CONFIGURE THE RECEIVER AND TO STORE DATA ONTO A PC IN REALTIME. REQUEST FOR QUOTATION (RFQ) MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. THEREFORE, A SOLICITATION PACKAGE DOES NOT EXISTS. A REQUEST FOR SUCH PACKAGE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. RESPONSES SHOULD BE FAXED TO 301-713-0808, NO LATER THAN 15 WORKING DAYS.
