- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Description of Supplies/Service: Brand Name or Equal. The required supply consists of a small form factor, low power, shock rated data acquisition system. This data acquisition system is being procured to support a research program designed for measuring human skull fracture injury thresholds, as well as human/dummy exposures, at operational to impact levels. This data acquisition system will be fitted inside a cannon-launched projectile. The data acquisition system must fit within the projectile without need for a tether to supply power or data transmission. To meet the needs of this research program, the data acquisition system must meet the following requirements: I. A complete data acquisition system with a small form factor and laboratory grade quality for vehicle and personnel data collection in the field. II. The data acquisition system must meet the overall specifications described in Section III and consist of the following components: a.At least two (2) DAS Main Processors meeting the specifications in Section IV. b.At least four (4) three-channel modular DAS units meeting the specification in Section V. c.At least four (4) DC power supplies (batteries) meeting specifications in Section VI. d.At least twelve (12) single-channel sensor connectors/cables meeting specifications in Section VI. e.At least one (1) set of cables for charging, data transfer, and external system triggering as described in Section VI. f.At least one (1) daisy chain connection cable meeting specification in Section VI. g.At least one seat of DAS control software meeting specifications in Section VII. h.DAS hardware and software documentation meeting specifications in Section VIII. III. Overall DAS specifications a.Data acquisition system must be able to connect and communicate with multiple modular units (making a chain of units). b.Modular units must be compatible with existing USAARL DAS (DTS SLICE NANO). c.Modular design should have at least 3 channels and allow expansion to at least 16 channels d.Draw a max current of 1 A per chain e.Be capable of operating in temperatures between 32F and 122F f.Be rated at least at 5000 Gs at less than 4msec g.Sensor shut down when not recording h.Must meet or exceed SAEJ211 response i.Each modular 3-channel unit (battery + main processor + 3-channel DAS unit + cap) must be compact, i.e., no larger than 1.220 inches x 1.024 inches x 0.689 inches j. Each modular unit 3-channel unit (battery + main processor + 3-channel DAS unit + cap) must be lightweigt, i.e., no heavier than 1.326 ounces (37.6 grams) k. Expansion Modular DAS units must be no larger than 1.220 inches x 1.024 inches x 0.217 inches and weight no more than 0.487 ounces (13.8 grams) and 0.444 ounces (12.6 grams) for 3-channel and 1-channel units, respectively. l.Data acquisition system (DAS) must supply voltage to at least sixteen (16) external sensors. m.The DAS connects to the workstation via USB cable and can operate using AC power and small form factor battery packs. n.The DAS interfaces with a user-friendly program for DAS setup, data collection, and simple data analysis for the hardware. o.Must contain all fixtures, screws, and caps associated with assembling the functioning DAS. IV. DAS Main Processor a.Must have on board memory of at least 7GB b.Must be able to connect to workstation or other systems via USB port c.Must be capable of protecting against reverse current d.Must have remote control input for turning unit power on/off e.Must operate in a a range of 7-15 VDC input, including while connected to other main processors f.Must be capable of a maximum sampling rate of at least 120,000 samples per second for each channel (lower sampling rates are permissible when multiple modular units are added) g.Must have a circular buffer and timed recorder mode h.Must have the standalone operation ability i.Be operationally rated at least at 5000 Gs at less than 4msec V. Modular DAS units a.Must allow connection of at least 3 external sensors (single or differential) b.Must have at least three sensor channels that are differential and programmable c.Must have at least 16 bit resolution d.Depending on sensor load, maximum current draw of 110mA e.Bandwidth DC to at least 40kHz (adjustable anti alias filtering) f.Programmable gain range from 1 to at least 1280 g.Automatic offset rage at 100 percent of effective input h.Variable excitation voltage, including 5V. i.Input range of +/- 2.4 V j.Must be capable of signal conditioning, including Wheatstone bridge support (full and half bridge with shunt emulation) k.Must be capable of providing sensor excitation voltage VI. Accessories a.One-channel connectors that will ensure connections in field environments b.Ruggedized cabling (at least 5000 Gs) for a field environment c.Power cabling and connectors required for DC and AC power supplies d.Data transfer and synching cables for communication from DAS to workstation e.An end-of-chain terminal block capable of providing power and USB communication for at least four daisy-chained data acquisition systems. f.DC power supply (battery) with enough power to support at least two minutes of autonomous operation. g.DC power supply (battery) must be capable of being charged from completely discharged to full capacity within a minimum of 20 minutes of being connected its charger. h.Charger with appropriate connectors/adapters to quickly charge DC power supply (battery) VII. User friendly Software a.DAS must come with setup, data acquisition, data download, and data export software b.Software must to allow real time viewing c.Software must allow setup of data collection specifications (at a minimum sampling rate, test name, pre-trigger length, data capture length, engineering units, sensor sensitivity) d.Software must have tools for reviewing data collected (at a minimum range selection, post data capture filtering, zoom, and channel identification/selection) e.Software must have diagnostic capabilities to troubleshoot sensor and connection problems before data collection f.Software must be capable of post data collection at least processing filters g.Software must run on Windows 7 OS or later VIII. Documentation a.Must include user's manual that describes all components in detail including specifications, troubleshooting, setup, and system function.
