Description

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for a new sensor system to acquire simultaneous spatial and temporal measurements of the ocean wave properties to investigate the dynamics of ocean waves. Non-contact sensing technique is preferred. A possible design is a platform-mounted scanning laser system. The system shall acquire continuous space-time images of the ocean surface. The area of coverage shall be a minimum of 1m x 1m (mounted on a platform at a height of about 5 times or less of the scanning width) and a minimum throughput rate of 10 kHz (32x32x10). The vertical resolution of the system shall be 0.2" or better. The primary application of the system is to acquire topographic data of small-scale surface waves. Supplemental information of environmental conditions must be measured with an environmental sensor suite. The data from the environmental sensor suite must be synchronized with the surface wave topography data. The Vendor shall provide acceptance testing which shall be conducted in an outdoor water body (lake or canal), a maximum of two weeks on-site training, software, source code, and all other applicable documentation, including detailed engineering designs, technical documentation, performance specifications, operation and maintenance manuals, and training materials. System delivery is required within 12 months from date of contract. Detailed specifications will be issued with the solicitation. The Government anticipates award of a Firm Fixed Price contract. Any questions related to the issuance of this solicitation must be received no later than 10 days before the closing date and shall be directed to Mr. Jerry Riles, Contract Specialist, at the (228) 688-4259 or e-mail: jriles@hawkeye.nrlssc.navy.mil.
