- Description
- The Naval Research Laboratory requests proposals for four each Acoustic Communications and Data Storage Buoy Systems (ACDS) and four each Acoustic Communications Modem Personal Computers (Modem PC's). The ACDS systems plus one shipboard monitor/control station are to be deployed from sea-going vessels as autonomous acoustic communications and data collection systems. Each ACDS buoy system shall serve as an acoustic modem/repeater that can receive, transmit and record acoustic signals in an ocean environment for continuous active operation for a minimum of 12 hours and inactive operation for a minimum of 60 hours. The ACDS systems shall be moored to the ocean floor at depths to 500 meters, suspended in the water column, tethered to a surface flotation unit and remotely controlled by a shipboard monitor/control station. The Modem PC's are to be deployed as signal processing units in submerged ocean buoys. The Modem PC shall perform the following functions: analog-to-analog conversion, signal processing, digital-to-analog conversion, data storage, TCP/IP network communications and data transfer. Custom application and integration software shall be delivered along with commercial application and operating system (such as Linux or Windows) software packages. Software developed for the Modem PC shall run under an operating system specified by the offeror. Hardware is desired to be "commercial off-the-shelf". Complete specifications shall be issued with the Request for Proposal (RFP). A Firm Fixed Price contract is anticipated for the systems with options for additional components and systems. The Government may make multiple awards resulting from this solicitation. The deadline for receipt of proposals will be on or about 30 days after issuance of the RFP. NRL uses Electronic Commerce (EC) to issue RFPs and amendments to RFPs. This solicitation and any amendments to it will be available via the Internet approximately fifteen (15) days after publication of this announcement at the URL address provided below. Printed copies of this RFP will not be provided.
