- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate the specification of the PORTABLE BEACON LIGHT SYSTEM as follows: CRITICAL FEATURES FOR PORTABLE RANGE MARKER SYSTEM, OR EQUIVALENT 1.0BACKGROUND A Portable Range Marker System will be used at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (MCBCP), San Diego, CA. The system will be used on MCBCPs 14 different Live Fire and Maneuvering (LFAM) ranges during night training/operations involving live fire exercises. Requirements will be met via a turn-key, competitively bid; Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) items with all engineering design and integration efforts the responsibility of the contractor. Portable Range Marker System beacons will be organized along the lateral limits of a LFAM range during night exercises. Ground personnel (in control of exercises located between the lateral limits) shall detect the beacons using night vision Infrared (IR) Thermal Imaging sighting systems (such as but not limited to, Raytheons AN/PAS-13 Weapon Thermal Sight) and control the on off operations of the beacons at a minimum distance of 1 kilometer. The light(s) on the system shall be Night Vision Goggle (NVG) Safe. The system shall operate in a wide range of terrain, under a wide range of conditions, as is typical of MCBCP. Systems shall be self-contained, battery powered, remote controlled, and capable of being setup and transported by one individual using one vehicle. The system shall provide a red visible beacon light (visible from all directions with a field of view of 360˚) and a thermal image (visible form one direction with a field of view of 180˚) 2.0REQUIREMENTS: 2.1At a minimum the system shall include ten (10), portable, beacon lights.The beacons thermal image shall be: i. Detected at a minimum distance of 1 kilometer.ii. Visible from one direction with a field of view of 180˚.iii. Seen as a steady signal from the viewers perspective. iv. At a minimum, clearly viewable by the Raytheon, AN/PAS-13 Thermal Imagining System. The beacons visible light shall be: i. Visible from all directions with a field of view of 360˚.ii. Seen as a red rotating signal from the viewers perspective. Any system with the option to choose a steady or flashing signal is a plus.Top of the beacon system shall stand no less than 5 feet off the ground. Any beacon system standing 20 feet or higher is a plus. 2.2General system requirements: System shall be portable self-contained with components capable of being setup and operated in a wide range of terrain (rocky, sandy swampy etc.) and under a wide range of conditions (rainy, snowy, windy) as is typical of MCBCP. The complete packaged system shall be capable of being easily deployed and carried by one individual in no more than three cases and using one vehicle. No single case shall weight more than 60 lbs. Systems shall be packed in durable, cushion lined, hard stackable carrying cases, suitable for safe transport on military off-road vehicles, helicopters and other similar vehicles as might be expected in theater. When not in use, the systems shall be capable of being stored under conditions as might be expected in a warehouse (a warehouse not environmentally controlled).2.4Rechargeable Battery powered Systems Activated systems shall operate continuously for a minimum of 6 hrs without the need to switch batteries. Batteries shall have a minimum re-charge rate of 3 hrs. Batteries shall be capable of being used over a temperature, range of -30˚C and +40˚CSystems shall provide an external battery connection for the optional use of external battery power (source).2.5Lighting controlThe on /off control of the lighting system shall be manually and remotely controlled.Radio Control (RC) shall operate using a frequency within the 158-174 MHz bandwidth (precise frequency will be contractor provided by the range after contract award).RC shall operate from a minimum distance of 1 kilometer.Ideally, IR and visible lights shall be manually and remotely controlled independently of one another (e.g. each light may be switched on/off without affecting any other light). At a minimum all lights should be switched on/off (all twenty lights on/off all at the same time). Contractors should provide a cost estimated for both ideally and minimally-controlled systems.Systems remote control should provide some feature to prevent accidental on/off triggering by ground personnel (Contractors are asked to use their discretion to create a simple solution possible solutions include: button lock-outs, coded commands etc.). 3.0MANUALS AND DOCUMENTS: 3.1Standard COTS Operations Manuals: The contractor shall provide one (1) set of commercial off the shelf (COTS) manuals. Each manual shall contain instructions on how to operate and install the Portable Range Marker System. 4.0OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: 4.1Contractor shall provide a list of spare equipment including prices; the Government will option to exercise 1 year after contract award.
