59 -- AIRBORNE VIDEO RECORDER SOL F04611-R-Source DUE 032500 POC Wartan Bozoghlanian WEB: DIRECTORATE OF CONTRACTING, http://bsx.org/cbd/. E-MAIL: DIRECTORATE OF CONTRACTING, wartan.bozoghlanian@edwards.af.mil. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) Edwards AFB CA. is seeking sources which can provide non-developmental airborne digital video recorders and playback systems through the DoD Foreign Comparative Testing Program (FCTP). These recorders will replace existing single and triple deck units on board flight test aircraft at AFFTC. The video recorders must meet the following minimum functions and specifications: Shall support the video, aircraft data, control and power interfaces. Specifically it shall record on board Multi Function Displays(MFD) and Heads Up Displays(HUD). Shall have at least the following inputs: four video channels; aircraft data; two separate differential audio inputs with automatic gain control and MPEG2 compression; Aircraft data interface shall be RS-422A differential input for Command and Status; the video standard shall be PAL and NTSC. The video format shall be Composite, Y/C or RGB. Compression algorithm shall be ISO MPEG2. Compressed data rate shall be 4Mbit/s. Storage unit is hard drive. Storage medium shall be removable digital data cartridge (DDC) with minimum capacity of 14 Gbytes. Aggregate transfer rate to the storage media shall be minimum 5.6 Mbit/s, thereby providing a maximum of 5 hrs. 30 min. of recording time. Shall support IRIG B or G time. Volume/Temp/Environmental/Mechanical/EMC/Reliability: Volume shall be maximum 0.207 cubic feet; Weight 5.5 Kg. or less; Power supply MIL-STD-704D 28VDC; Power comsumption 70W nominal or less; Sealed unit, not requiring forced air-cooling; Operating temp. range: -40C to + 50 degree C; Operating altitude: 0 to 70,000 feet; Operating humidity: 5 to 95% R.H. non-condensing; Acceleration: operating, 6 half-axes: 9g; Random Vibration, operating, 3 axes: 12.4 g rms. Shock, operating, half-sine, 6 half-axes: 13g/11ms; EMC as per MIL-STD-461C part 1&2, category A1b and part4, category A3: up to 10 GHz; DDC connector insertions/extractions minimum 10,000; Storage media ON/OFF cycles minmum 30,000; MTBF of DDC removable media, calculated per MIL-HDBK-217F in an AIF environment at 25 degee C minimum 30,000 hrs.. The Video Recorder shall have spare slots for MIL-STD-1553B; In-Flight replay of one video channel, allowing read-while-write, i.e. recording while playing back a different section of the media; At least one output stream for telemetry downlink @ 10 Mbit/s. Growth for storage capacity and data transfer rate. Modularity for adaptation to future video standards. The Ground Replay System shall be a PC workstation, monitor and speakers. It shall house minimum two cartridge replay units. All application software to support the data and control interfaces and playback, MPEG2 decompression; capable of extracting, processing and displaying all data and time code from a DDC; User control feature to allow selection of : the setting of parameters, the starting point, the display rate from 1/15 to 15X, the output sound level. Cartridge replay unit shall operate from internal 5VDC power source, with power consumption less than 5W. The PC workstation shall have Windows NT operating system, and shall have minimum 10Gbytes hard drive storage; 4 PCI slots, CD-ROM writable drive, floppy disk drive, mouse, keyboard, 21" color monitor, audio board and interface boards such as IEEE 1394 or Ethernet, networked configuration. Responding sources will provide capability documentation showing existing video recorders and ground replay systems that meet or exceed the above specifications. Only written or emailed requests will be accepted. Send replies to: Wartan Bozoghlanian 412 TW/TSDI 25 N.
