The solicitation number is W911W6-11-T-0016 and is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). Under this number, the Army Contracting Command (ACC) / Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-60. The applicable North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) code is 334511. The small business size standard is 750. AATD intends to purchase, on a competitive basis, under the authority of FAR clause 13.106-1(f), a heavy duty, moderate speed pan and tilt gimbal system to be utilized in support of its aircraft infrared (IR) measurement system. In order to facilitate the integration of the extensive suite of radiometric measurement equipment onto a unified aircraft tracking system, the Government has identified and established minimum system operational characteristics, capabilities, and specifications necessary to accomplish its mission requirements. Any proposed gimbal assembly and associated command and control hardware shall comply with, but not be limited to, the following capability/specification requirements: (1) PAN/TILT GIMBAL ASSEMBLY. (a) 400 pound minimum payload capability; (b) 330 degrees minimum (+/-165 degrees) pan-axis range; (c) user definable hard and soft limits on both axes rotation limits; (d) 0.01 - 20 /s @ 400 pound load on sensor mounting plate pan-axis speed; (e) pan/tilt +/- 0.1 positional accuracy; (f) 5 F to 120 F operating temperature; (g) stepper/geared motors motor type/drive; (h) RS232/422/485 and/or IP Ethernet 10/100 Base-T communication; (i) power supply compatible with 115VAC supply voltage. Power supply output as required by gimbal assembly and controller; (j) 100 foot minimum length for command/control/power wiring harnesses; (k) single, transverse sensor mounting plate with expansion capability capable of hosting multiple sensor arrays up to 400 pounds (noncounter balanced); (l) weight not to exceed 180 lbs. (2) GIMBAL CONTROLLER. (a) The system shall be provided with a controller with an imbedded joystick enabling full control of the pan and tilt angle and user variable/controlled angular rate; (b) The system shall be provided with an integral display presenting complete, real-time Azimuth, Elevation. The system shall also possess an auxiliary readout for display of other sensor data such as range or bearing; (c) The system shall be network compatible and possess an integrated Ethernet interface; (d) The system shall be provided with a microprocessor controller enabling integration with touch screen graphical user interface; (e) Supplemental - it is desired that an integrated, secondary joystick control be provided (or available for later acquisition) for remote control of pan/tilt gimbal. (3) TARGET TRACKING SYSTEM. (a) The system shall be provided with a fully integrated target tracking module capable of providing the following capabilities: (i) integrated compatibility with pan/tilt gimbal system; (ii) IP control data interfacing to pan/tilt gimbal system; (iii) serial interface for pan/tilt, visible camera, thermal imager, and other optional payloads; (iv) precision video tracking (on switchable Visible or Thermal video signals); (v) "Video over IP" hardware required to facilitate integration of up to 4 video signal sources. (b) The system shall possess tracking algorithm capabilities compatible with Ground to Air/Air to Ground Target Tracking: (i) The tracking system shall, as a minimum, be capable of providing stable, smooth tracking of hottest and/or brightest spot targets; (ii) The tracking system shall be capable of Dynamic Centroid tracking/Dynamic Correlation of presented targeting imagery. The tracking system shall possess, as a minimum, Scene Lock/Threshold Tracking/Motion Tracking algorithm routines. The tracking system should also employ logic based clutter rejection and rate gate algorithms to enhance rejection of false targets; (iii) The system shall be provided with all necessary Video Tracking Algorithms and necessary operational support. The acceptance criteria will be determined by importance in the following order: technically acceptable/lowest price/delivery time. Delivery, Inspection, Acceptance and F.O.B Point are Destination.
