- Description
- The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV), Indian Head, Maryland is requesting information on wireless radio frequency (RF) communication systems and/or technologies suitable for command and control of EOD robotic platforms. The purpose of this solicitation is to identify promising wireless communication systems and/or technologies that can be used to improve communications of the fielded EOD robotic platforms, as well as support the future Advanced EOD Robotic Systems (AEODRS) program. The AEODRS program's communication strategy is to use a common radio system for all of its robotic platforms. The three variants that makeup the AEODRS family of robots are dismounted (~35lbs), tactical (~160lbs), and infrastructure (~600lbs). Vendors are encouraged to fully explain their product's special features, capabilities, and performance. Systems that are in advanced stages of development are preferred and an assessment of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) should be included in the description. Performance description is sought in the form of white papers (limited to five pages) and/or detailed specification sheets. Technical Summary Guidance: 1.General Information. 1.1.Vendor Information. Name, address, point of contact, email and postal address, telephone number, and related WebPages. 1.2.Point of Contact. Vendor representative's name and contact information1.3.System Title 1.4.System Pictures 2.Technical Specifications 2.1.Supported Frequency Bands2.2.Supported RF Bandwidths2.3.Supported Channels2.4.Transmit Power 2.5.Operating Voltage2.6.Power Consumption (Nominal Transmit and Receive)2.7.Antenna Connector(s)2.8.Communication Interface(s) (Physical and Software Protocol)2.9.Data Rate(s)2.10.Dimensions2.11.Weight2.12.Security (Authentication, Encryption)2.13.Supported Waveforms (e.g. 802.11, WNW, SRW, WiMAX, etc)2.14.Video Compression Supported 2.15.Operating Environment (Operating temperature limits, humidity, vibration, acceleration, and shock)2.16.Standards Compliance (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-464, FCC)2.17.Joint Frequency 12 (J/F12) Number2.18.Latency (one-way) with and without encryption 3.Detailed Technical Specifications A primary objective of NAVEODTECHDIV is to improve communication in NLOS and harsh RF environments. Therefore, as part of your white paper submission an analysis of receiver front-end and physical layer performance shall be provided. Interested entities are encouraged to include detailed specific information on the following topics:.Receiver Front-EndoFiltering (e.g. Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Bessel)oReceiver TypeoReceiver sensitivity (specify @ data rate) (@10-6 BER)oReceiver selectivity (e.g. co-channel and adjacent channel selectivity)oReceiver Block Diagram.Multipath Mitigation FeaturesoPhysical Layer Description?Channel/Media Access Method (TDMA, CDMA, TDD, FDD, etc)?NOTE: If OFDM is used please include details (number of subcarrier, length of guard interval, etc)?NOTE: DSSS/FHSS is used please include details (chipping rate, RAKE receiver, etc) This announcement serves to survey product availability, and is NOT a formal solicitation and is NOT an RFP. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes ONLY, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. All data received in response to the Sources Sought / RFI tat is marked or designated as corporate or proprietary information will be fully protected form release outside the Government. The Government will not will not reimburse respondents for the cost of submitting information. Each submission shall be transmitted electronically to: Tammy Winters, Code 052 at tammy.winters@navy.mil Replies must be received not later than 2:00pm EDT June 3, 2010. Our intent is to identify and evaluate market ready equipment. Technical questions regarding this RFI may be directed to Shad Reese at (301)744-5743 or by email: shad.reese@navy.mil
